Vol. IX. No. 1.

Devoted to the Interests of the University of Maryland.

The following is the committee that had the
responsible duty of selecting a Provost under
the new order of things and which nominated
Dr. Fell for the position: Mr. Philemon H.
Tuck, Department of Arts and Sciences,' chair-
man ; Dr. Thomas A. Ashby, Department of
Medicine; i\lr. Joseph C. France, Department of
Law ; Dr. Timoth}' O. Heatwole, Department
of Dentistry: Dr. David M. R. Culbreth, De-
partment of Pharmacy.

As was confidently expected, the report of the
committee of inspection was favorable and Dr.
Coale was notified on the 11th instant that the
School of Medicine had been restored to the A
class. Much of the criticism of the committee of
1911 that turned us down was imjust, but un-
doubtedly their judgment had a wholesome effect
in stirring us up and many things have been
done as a consequenc in the way of betterment,
some cf which might otherwise have been left
undone. These changes have been noted in our
columns from time to time in the last twelve
months. So the scare has done us good and
doubtless we will take care to avoid any such
dano;ers in the future.

A meeting of the .llitmni Council was held at
the office of Judge Walter I. Dawkins, Fidelity
I'.uilding, Jan. 28th. Judge Dawkins was elect
President for 1913 and, Mr. John H
was re-elected Secretary. The Sec

rected to write to the Board of Regents and ex-
press the gratification of the Council at the elec-
tion of a paid Provost of the University. On
motion of Mr. J. W. Bowers a committee of
five, representing the various departments of the
University, was appointed to consider and report
ways and means of securing a Gymnasium.
Committee : Mr. Bowers, Dr. Wirt A. Duvall,
Dr. Herbert L. Gorgas, Dr. C. O. Miller, Dr.
Jos. E. Gichner. After further discussion the
Council adjourned.

The Regents of the Universit\ met in annual
session on January 7, Judge Stockbridge, Acting
Provost, in the chair. The report of the Commit-
mittee appointed last September to nominate a
Provost was presented. Dr. Fell being nomi-
nated. Dr. Fell was then unanimously elected
Provost for the ensuing year. He will be a
salaried officer and have an office for the present
in the room formerly used as a library opposite
Dean Coale's office. He will continue as Presi-
dent of St. John's, spending about half his time
in Baltimore. The Board of V^isitors and Gov-
ernors of St. John's has approved of the election.
Dr. Randolph Winslow was re-elected Treasurer
cf the Board and Dr Daniel Base was made Sec-
retary. Dr Fell conferred with the Deans, and a
committee from the Board of Visitors and Gov-
e"ncrs of St. John's, on January 11, and entered
upon his duties at the University on Januar}- 13.
o '-

In the election of Dr. Fell as Provost to suc-
ceed the late Mr. Bernard Carter, the Regents
have acted wisely. It is hard to see how they
could have dene diffcently, if the plan of a paid

sity's finances, cost had to be

thought of in view of the large salary to be paid
for a suitable person. We were compelled there-
fore to look within our own circles and of those
who were possibly available, who was to compare
with Dr. Fell? He was already President of our
Academic Department and had shown decided
executive ability during the 26 years of his in-
cumbency of that position. He has had large
experience and is otherwise peculiarl}' cjuali-
fied for the ofRce. From the beginning he has
been one of the strongest advocates of the affilia-
tion of the University and St. John's and has
done much to strengthen that bond. Lastly, Dr.
Fell was already salaried at St. John's and did
not require therefore to be paid a full salary here.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Bangor, Maine, Jan. 9, 1913.
Eugene F. Cordell, M.D.,

Baltimore, Md. ;
Dear Doctor: —

I herewith enclose check for $3.00 subscrip-
tion to Old Maryland. Am sorry I was com-
pelled to make you wait so long, but have
finally found a good location in the city of
Bangor, where I am in hopes of building up
a good practice. Have been doing well here
right from the beginning and prospects for the
future look good.

Wishing yo'u and Old Maryland success for
the New Year, I am.

Fraternally yours,

L. M. PASTOR.

Raspeburg, Md., Jan. 8, 1913.
Dear Doctor Cordell :

I have written to Dr. Fell expressing- my
great pleasure at his selection as Provost of
the University and I feel that I should also
write to you a sort of congratulatory letter,
because this great step in advance is, as I
see it, exactly along the lines which you have
so long advocated and with such zeal and

energy, especially in the past ten years. I
look upon this selection as, in a great meas-
ure, a personal victory for you and it is my
earnest hope that you may yet live to see your
labor of love and of years grow more and more
towards the consummation which you have so
"devoutly wished." Sincerely yours,

A. F. WILKINSON.

My dear Dr. Cordell :

I beg to thank you for your very kind letter,
expressing your pleasure in my appointment
as Provost of the University and your prom-
ise of support in my administration. Nothing
can lighten the labors of the position more
than the hearty co-operation of those con-
nected with it, and I shall be grateful at all
times for such help as you can give me.
With kindest regards, I am,
Very sincerely yours,

THOMAS FELL,
President of St. John's College.

Ladiesburg, Md., Jan. 8th, 1913.
Dr. Eugene F. Cordell;
Dear Doctor :

I inclose money order for $1.00 in payment
of the inclosed bill, received yesterday. I am
always glad to receive Old Maryland. The
endowment fund has not yet met "the tide,
which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune."
Some philosophical gentleman has remarked :
"Everything comes to the man who waits."
So may it be with the fund. I hope so.
Yours truly,

JOHN J. LIGGET.

Alexandria, Dec. 22, 1912.
My Professor Eugene Cordell ;

Sir: — I beg to acknowledge a receipt of your
letter of the 8th of November. I was glad
to know that our University is considered
among the best in the country. None of us
need feel ashamed of it. I am receiving the
Old Maryland regularly.

I have sent an article to the Hospital Bulle-
tin on the Treatment of Enteritis of Children
b^ Sea Water. I hope it may interest my

OLD MARYLAND

Professor Mitchell and my colleagues of the
University.
J ido:se with best wishes and kindest regards.
Yours faithfully,

N. KENAWAY, M. D., 1905.

N. B. — Please send me the Old M.-\ryl.\nd on
tlie following address : 1 1 Boulevard Ramleh,
Alexandria.

231 Broad Street, Providence, R. I.,

Jan. 11, 1913.
My dear Doctor:

I know the enclosed will interest you, both
personally and as Dean of the Dental Depart-
ment of the old University. It will show that
some of the "Boys" are still making good, even
in New England.

We have not forgotten the good, sound advice
given us by our friends, the faculty, and espe-
cially by the younger element, as Drs. Grieves,
Davis and yourself. With the exception of a
very few., the men in this section from the U.
M. are "making good" — and some are among
the leaders of the profession. Personally, I have,
in a financial way, been able to save a penny
each year. I think that is more than a majority
of young men can say.

Perhaps you would be interested to know that
in the Rhode Island Dental Society one has to
start on the executive committee and is moved
up each year, provided he is a hustler and meets
the approval of the Society. In my case I have
had no opposition the past two years. We had
a splendid meeting on Thursday — the best one
yet — and I hope that the meetings during this
year will be an improvement over the last one.

I hope you are enjoying your "Deanship," and
that the institution will greatly prosper. Will
you kindly remember me to Drs, Davis, Valen-
tine and others who may be connected with the
University known to me.

With kindest regards, and wishing you all that
is good,

Most cordially,
WALTER R. McINTIRE.

[In explanation of the above, we would say
that Dr. Mclntire has just been elected Presi-
dent of the Rhode Island Dental Society. He
gra'duated in the class of 1905.]

HISTORICAL NOTES.

The late Dr. John Morris, of Baltimore, claimed
to be the only living Maryland physician who
he'd a license of the Medical and Chirurgicai
Facultv by examination. I saw this in 1898. '
It was dated 1845 and was signed by "Joel Hop-
kins, Praeses," and John L. Yeates, George S.
Gibson, Alexander F. Dulin, John H. Briscoe,
Thomas H. Wright and John R. W. Dunbar, all
M. D.'s.

Dr. Morris volunteered to go to Norfolk in
the yellow fever epidemic of 1855 and had a gold
medal given him by the citizens' there for his
services. Dr. Robert Thompson, a graduate of
the University of Maryland, accompanied him.
Tliey arrived on Friday and by the following
Tuesday Thompson ' was dead and buried.
T. was much depressed and drank a great deal,
while Morris refrained. The latter also had the
disease. Thompson had been rejected for the
Navy on account of a deformity of his nose — a
flat nose. Fifteen corpses were piled in the yard
of the hotel when they arrived and there were
no coffins for them. It was necessary to dig a
trench and bury them in that. Out of a popula-
tion of 12,000-15,000, 2503 died of fever. '^ '

Ashton Alexander (said Dr. Morris, 1899)
was of magnificent physicpie, a grand old man in
everything — in manner, charities, kindness, gen-
tleness and all virtues. A^ery courteous. Of the
old school. Wore black clothes, knee buckles,
shoe buckles and stockings. Gold-headed cane.
Fond of dining and' of wine. Of a florid com-
plexion, but no red nose.

The editor of Niles Register has an article
in that journal, Oct. 31, 1818, in which he says
that the "Baltiinore Physical Association" has
just been organized. It was designed to pro-
mote natural science in Baltimore. Horace H.
Hayden was secretary

Dr. John B. Blake, class of 1824, died in
Washington City, Oct. 26, 1881, aged 79. A
graduate of Georgetown College. Took great
interest in the building of the Washington Mon-
ument : in fact, might almost be called the father

of it, since much of the credit of its resumption
was due to him. A great entertainer and story-
teller. Was always relieving distress and speak-
ing a kindly word for struggling young men.
Though often deceived, never lost faith in hu-
manity. For nearly 70 years a citizen of Wash-
ington. Intimate with Webster, Clay, Benton
and other leaders and often royally entertained
them. Kind, sociable, sprightly. Was president
of the "Oldest Inhabitants' Association." Toner,
M. S.

Of Dr. John Buckler, Class of 1817, born
1795, died 1866, who aspired at one time to be
the chief surgeon of Baltimore and who was the
great family physician here for many years, his
brother, Thomas H. Buckler, said: "He never
dined out ; never went inside of a church ; never
went to a theatre or any other place of public
amusement ; never indulged in games or pleas-
ures of any kind ; nor did he ever seek relaxation
by leaving the city at any time for health, pleas-
ure or recreation." Trans. A. M. A., Vol. 18,
p. 335.

In 1883 a student named Jacob M. Davis, who
had been rejected by the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Balto. on final examination,
sued the college, claiming that the rejection was
because of the character of his parents. The
suit was decided against him by Judge Phelps,
who said : "It was beyond the power of the
court to issue a mandamus to compel an institu-
tion of learning to confer a degree upon any per-
son considered incompetent by the institution in
question."

OF ARTS AND SCIENCES).

At a meeting of the Athletic Association
held before the holidays, H. B. Matthews and
Philip Moisan were elected manager and as-
sistant-manager, respectively, of the football
team for the coming season. As chairman of
the executive committee, Vice-president Cecil
awarded monograms and stars to Mellon,
Welch, Wilson, Clark, Clayton, Claudf, Broad-
water, McN'utt, Dryden, Gladden, Woodward,

The second formal dance in the Cotillion
Club series was held on Friday, January 10th,

in the new gymnasium. Professor John B.
Rippere, Secretary to the Facurty, and Mrs.
Rippere received. The floor was not crowded,
the music w^ell selected, and the floor in per-
fect condition.

At the quarterly meeting of the Brard of
Visitors and Governors on Wednesday, Jan.
8th, formal announcement was made of the
appointment of Dr. Fell as Provost of the
University. A committee, consisting of
Messrs. Munfoe, Tuck, and Chew, designated
with power to act in the matter, has since rati-
fied the selection of President Fell. The board
also received and accepted the resignation of
Mr. M. W. King as gymnasium instructor.
Cadets Woodward and Gailey, both capable
men, have been appointed in his stead. Rep-
resentatives of the Phi Sigma Kappa appealed
for the reinstatement of Greek letter fraterni-
ties, but the matter was referred to committee
and will be determined at the next meeting.

The Basket-ball season opened with a de-
cided victory over Gallaudet College by a
score of 41-9. Captain Clayton, Mellon, Wil-
son, and Welch are veterans of the last three
years and Thompson has played in several
Varsity games for the last two years. ' ■

Cadet Holman has been chosen manager of
the Mandolin and Glee Club. Cadet AV. R.
Woodward has been re-elected captain of the
track team.

For the Farewell Ball of 1913 the Junior
class recently elected the following committee :
Reader, chairman. Noble, Christian, Cecil,

THE BAR EXAMINATIONS.

Few, if any, there are among us, who ap-
proach this dreaded ordeal with light hearts.
Still smaller is the number who leave the
dreaded portals of Custom House, "lightly
tripping," and more, oh ! much more diminu-
tive still, is the number who get the required
average. As usual there are many sad stories
that could be told of what might have been,
but this is a tale of joy and not of woe, for
honor and not for condolences, and to those
who passed we reach forth the hand of con-
gratulation.

Of those who have worked among us three
years, passing their, U. of M. requirements and
receiving their diplomas, we are very proud.
They have upheld the honor of their school.
Their success is our boast; but there are others
to whom we must advance and lay on the
congratulatory "stuff" with even greater ve-
hemence and heartiness, if such be possible.
A'Ve refer especially to Messrs. Edgar Curran,
W. Melbourne Hart, Gerard Morgan and Rob-
ert Pfeil from men of our Senior Class who,
taking time by the forelock, lifted themselves
mto the ranks of the Barristers as effectually
as with the aid of our "sheepskins" the rest
of us are going to try to force an entrance
this spring. To them we dofif our caps, to
them we bend the knee ; of them, cherished
sons of our 1913 class, we are most justly
proud.

THESIS.

"The lines of demarcation between legis-
tive, executive and j'udicial functions, with
special reference to the acts of an administra-
tive .board or commission."

The above is the topic assigned to the Se-
nior Class for its annual "Thesis." The sub-
ject is one of very present moment, and the
wisdom of its choice is clearly apparent. The
whole trend of national policies seems to have
a jCenter around the determination of this is-
sue:-^ Will our country be able to retain its

three-fold checking system of government or
will it be forced, by factions or otherwise, to
join two or perhaps the three portions, in or-
der to secure the rapid action now so much
desired? What are the lines which separate
the three departments of our government,
then, should be a most interesting topic for
inquiry and study. In the development of this
subject there is much to be read, much to be
learned.

Mr. Samuel Want has been kind enough
to give the Senior Class talks on the scope of
this s'ubject, which talks have proven very
helpful and instructive. -

EXAMINATIONS.

The examination in the Law Department
will begin with the Senior Qass on Jan. 25th
and finish with the Junior Class on Feb. 1st.
At present we are all at a point where we
begin to realize how little we know. The
library has suddenly taken on a busy atmos-
phere. Quiet reigns, a most remarkable thing,
and everyone appears to be busy. Here and
there we see a junior so intent with feverish
zeal that he seems to be endeavoring to mem-
orize the "code ;" the blase intermediate at-
tempting to concoct some sort of a scheme
to remember all of the "Writs" and saddest
of all the poor old serious senior trying to
figure out "The line of demarcation between
Conflict of Laws and Federal Procedure with
special reference to Admiralty, International
Law and Evidence." We admire and encour-
age you all. May the suns of February shine
bright with your success ! We wish you all
100.

nation held in November, in addition to those

THE CERTIFICATION OF PHARMACISTS^

Dear Doctor; —

Certain "^ew York physician,s and pharmacists have
appointed a joint committee which is to thoroughlj' in-
vestigate New York piiarmacies and certify to the worth
of those that meet reasonable modern requirements in
stock, in equipment and in practice.

We believe our greatly enlarged facilities and up-to-
date equipment would amply entitle us to such certifica-
tion. The character of work we have been doing for more
thAntiDenty years B-Ai, yse. hope, thoroughly and firmly
established us in 5'our esteem and favorably testifies as
to our abilities and methods.

with malaria and Mr. Cook was operated upon
for osteo-myelitis of the femur just prior to the
Christmas recess. All are now up and about,
thanks to the students' "friend-.''

Mr. McFadden, of the Junior Class, has now
fully recovered from his attack of typhoid fever,
which confined him to the University Hospital
from the latter part of October until December.

Prof. Ashby's assistants, Drs. White, Brent,
Willse and R. Mitchell, have started the Gyneco-
logical cjuizzes, which are to be held weekly from
now on.

In order that the students of the Junior Class
may obtain a good working knowledge of the

physical signs of Tuberculosis, Drs. McCarthy
and Robinson are taking their respective sections
in Physical Diagnosis to the Bay View Hospital.
There is plenty of material at the L'niversity
Hospital along this line, but the more advanced
cases, as found at Bay View, are more easily un-
derstood by the embryo diagnosticians.

A very interesting post-mortem was conducted
under the supervision of Prof. Neale last Tues-
day. The case was one of Eclampsia and, as
Prof. Neale has been lecturing- to the Juniors •
en this subject for the past few weeks, the post-
mortem was well appreciated. J. W. K.

PUBLISHED MONTHLT.
THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

BALTIMORE, JANUARY, 191,3.

With the induction of a paid Provost this
University enters upon a new era. Nothing has
happened in the whole 105 years of its existence
that can compare in importance with this step.
Never before has our organization been com-
plete ; never have the several departments of the
LIniversity been united under an authoritative and
efficient head. Hitherto there has only been the
semblance of organization, impotent to accomplish
results, because there was no one to direct, no one
to lead the way.

The very fact of having an actual head will
create a new atmosphere here, will increase our
self-respect and stir up new hopes, new aspira-
tions, new resolutions, new efforts. For we real-
ize that the nerveless methods of the past, the
mismanagement and the lack of management have
been done away with and that the University k
at last oil its feet.

There is therefore cause for rejoicing among
all who claim this LTniversity as their alma mater.

and for renewing our loyalty, and devotion, and
co-operation in every possible way in promoting
the success of the efforts of our new Provost. We
confidently trust that in his hands affairs will be
managed with wisdom, tact and judgment, and
let us not forget that in "union there is stiength."
o —

As we write this, negotiations are in progress
looking to a union between the Department of
Medicine of the LIniversity and the Baltimore
Medical College. The facultj' of the latter ap-
pear to be willing, indeed, urgent for it. Tlie
chief difficulty in the way, as we predicted some
time ago, is the status of the Maryland General
Hospital, now the property of the Methodists.
If that can be arranged to the satisfaction of
the Faculty of Physic of the LViiversity, the
schools will probably unite.

It will practically be an absorption of the col-
lege, which will lose its name and identity. As
far as we can learn, it has nothing to turn over.
The rearrangement of the conjoined faculty will
require much tact and can hardly be expected to
give entire satisfaction to, everybody.

The College of Phj'sicians and Surgeons, which
has gotten back into the A class, seems to be
determined to pursue an independent course, but
everywhere the sentiment is growing, that en-
dowment and affiliation are necessities and the
future of such an institution dees not offer much
encouragement. In Richmond and Memphis the
schools have amalgamated and the near future
will witness many more changes and a still fur-
ther reduction in the number. We are by no
means enthusiastic, however, over the above union
and confess that we cannot appreciate its advan-
tages for us.

In the midst of our other needs the needs of
the Training School for Nurses are by no means
to be forgotten. Under the energetic commit-
tee of the Faculty of Physic, assisted by the
various superintendents, this institution has been
brought to a high degree of efficiency. There
are now 87 students in attendance and the in-
stitution is taxed to its utmost to meet the wants
of this large number of young women. The
prospects are that it will increase and in the near
future reach or even pass the hundred-mark.

Very naturally, therefore, this approaching

OLD MARYLAND

demand must be provided for and the superin-
tendent, ]\Irs. Ethel P. Clarke, has started a
movement for a fund for a new "Home" for
the nurses, in the vicinity of the Hospital. This
is a great undertaking, but by determination,
persistence and enthusiasm, is by no means be-
yond accomplishment. The community now rec-
ognizes the invaluable services rendered by
trained nurses, and many would respond by
greater or less contributions to an appeal for help
such as is contemplated. The nurse has peculiar-
ly good opportunities to direct the benefactions
of the wealthy at a time when they are grateful
for recovery or about to take their departure into
another world. Let the "New Nurses' Home
Fund" be pushed vigorously and every friend
of the University be called on to give. The
nurses ought to get many a dollar out of them.

Dr. \Mnslow concludes the account of his trip
to Panama, in the last Hasp. Bull., by describing
a brief visit to Costa Rica. Port Limon, the only
seaport on the Atlantic side of that Republic, is
almost due west of Colon, from which it is
reached in an 18-hour sail. It has no harbor,
but only an open roadstead dangerous in bad
weather. - On entering port, the national flag
was run tip and the band played the national
hymn, while the customs and quarantine officers
made their examination. The United Fruit Com-
panv is the most important factor in the life of
this town, with its 5,000 inhabitants, its park
and frame houses, and maintains lines with New
York and New Orleans.

Costa Rica is a mountainous country with
390,000 population, mostly pure Spanish. A
narrow-gauge runs from Limon across to the
Pacific Coast. The coffee industry is one of the
chief sources of revenue. Earthquakes are fre-
quent and about two }^ears ago Cartago, a town
of 15,000 inhabitants, was destroyed by one, to-
gether with Andrew Carnegie's palace for the
Central American Court. San Jose, the capital,
situated at an elevation of 5,000 ft., was reached
after a ride of 105 miles. The situation is beau-

streets. The hotel is poor, but the theatre one
of the finest in the AVestern Hemisphere. There
is a national museum and a national army of 500.
The houses are of one-story, with courts, con-
taining flowers, shrubbery and birds. The cli-
mate is hot and debilitating on the coast, but
cool and bracing in the elevated centre. The
people are polite and courteous. The Pacific
Coast is the most prosperous.

On the return voyage a stop of two hours was
made at Santiago, which allowed a meeting with
Drs. Brooks and Miranda and the partaking of
their hospitality in an auto ride through the city.
(Dr. Winslow tells us that the statement that no
portion of the French work is included in the
Panama Canal, made in our Dec. issue, applies
only to about 7 miles of the Atlantic end, ter-
minating at Gatun Dam.)

The annual meeting of the Trustees of the
Endozi'inent Fund was held at the office of the
President, Judge Henry Stockbridge, on January
13. There were present, Judge Stockbridge, Dr.
Cordell, Dr. Ashby, Dr. Adier, Dr. Hopkinson
and Mr. Charles Markell. The Treasurer was
not ready to make his report and it was post-
poned to a special meeting.

The following nominations to medical scholar-
ships, made by the Faculty of Physic, were con-
firmed : Dr. Samuel Leon Frank scholarship,
Morris Benjamin Levin, Md., Junior Class ;
Hitchcock Scholarships, William S. Walsh, R.

ognizes the imperative need of a more adequate
provision for a, home for nurses connected with
the Training School. As a step to this end they
propose to inaugurate the estabhshment of a
Fund which shah ultimately be available for the
purchase of a site and erection of a building for
such home, and they desire to place the same
and all accumulations thereof in your hands uj
be invested, cared for and expended in accord-
ance with the following terms :

1. Any and all sums which shall be contrib-
uted or donated, or given by way of legacy for
the purpose above specified, shall be received,
held and invested by your Board in the same
manner and with the same degree of responsi-
bility, and none other, as is the case with other
funds now in your hands and being administered
as endowments for the various departments or
purposes of the University or the scholarships
therein.

2. That no part of the said monies shall be
used or expended save for the purchase of a
site, erection, remodeling and repairing of a
Home for Nurses connected wdth the Traiiiing
School for Nurses of the University of Mary-
land ; and no such expenditure of the Fund shall
be made without the joint concurrence of your
Finance Committee, the Superintendent of Nurses
of the Hospital of the University of Maryland
and the President of the Ntirses' Alumnae As-
sociation connected with the Hospital.

3. That no site shall be purchased, building
erected or repaired for such Home upon which
there is or shall be any other or greater mortgage
than may become necessary for the accjuiring of
such site, the erection, reconstruction or repair
of a building for such Nurses' Home.

Yours truly,

Ethel P. Cl.'\rke,
Siipt. of Nurses."

The following action was taken with regard
to this communication : That the request of the
Association of Nurses that this Board act as
custodian of the Fund to be inaugurated for
the acquisition of a Honie for Nurses connected
with the Training School be granted.

The election of officers was then held when all
the previous incumbents were re-elected, viz :
President, Judge Henry Stockbridge; Secretary-

Treasurer, Mr. Charles Markell ; Executive Com-
mittee, the President, Secretary-Treasurer, Mr.
John B. Thomas and Dr. B. Merrill Hopkinscn..

There being no further business the Board
adjourned to the call of the President.

Dr. Fell, with his ripe experience as an ed-
ucator and administrator, is logically the man
to head the greater university. His stand-
ing in this regard has been recognized by
Hampden-Sidney College, Va., and the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh, with the degree of doc-
tor of laws, and by St. John's with the de-
gree of doctor of civil law.

Dr. Fell was born in Liverpool, England,
on July 15, 1851, the son of a staff surgeon
of the English Army, who was killed in the
Crimean War. He studied at the Royal In-
stitution School of Liverpool and later at
King's College, London. Afterwards he en-
tered the University of London and later de-
voted two years to study at the Univer-
sity of Munich. He came to America and in
1884 was chosen professor of ancient languages
at New Windsor College, Md. He was elect-
ed president of St. John's in 1886 and has been
very successful in the management of its af-
fairs. He is a member of the American Philo-
logical Association, the American Academy
of Political and Social Science, the National
Educational Association, the Southern Edu-
cational Association, the University Club of
Baltimore, the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity
and the Cliosophic Society of Princeton Uni-
versity. He is also senior member of the
vestry of St. Anne's P. E. Church of Annapo-
lis and has represented this body as a dele-
gate on several occasions at Diocesan conven-
tions. Last year he served as president of the
Association of Universities and Colleges of
the Middle States and Maryland, which held
its annual meeting at Columbia University,
New York.

The sixteenth biennial convention of the Phi
Sigrna Kappa Fraternity was held in Balto. from
Dec. 14 to the 16th, the delegates numbering"
two hundred, representing twenty-six colleges,
coming from as far north as Canada, as far west
as California and as far south as Virginia, which
is the most southern of the chapters. The dele-
gates were royally entertained by their Balti-
more brothers, the only complaint being that
sleep was omitted from the program.

On Thursday, the 14th, the delegates arrived
and on the evening of the same day a smoker
was held in their honor at the Emerson Hotel.
On Friday, from 5-7 P. M., tea was served at
the local Fraternity House on Mt. Royal Ave.,
irt honor of the delegates and their friends, five
hundred attending. At eight P. M., a business
meeting was held at the Emerson, at which Mr.
William A. Mclntyre, of Ardmore, Pa., was
nawed President, to succeed George A. Vogel,
of- New York.

On Saturday morning a business meeting was
held at the same hotel. In the afternoon the
delegates attended the St. John's-Johns Hop-
kins football game.

The convention was brought to a close, Sat-
urday evening, a banquet being served on the
seventeenth- floor of the Emerson, but the people
on. the fourteenth floor had to be assured just
the same that the Turks and Bulgars were still
in. Europe and that the strange warcries were
only twenty-six varieties of college yells. The
principal address of the evening was delivered
by Prof. Arthur M. Shipley, who spoke most in-
terestingly on "The Ideal Relation Between the
Student and the Fraternity." Toastmaster
George J. Vogel spoke briefly of the recent prog-
ress made by the various chapters. Messrs. Al-
fi-ed' Houston, of St. John's College, and Jas.
P. Barrett, of New York, a founder of the fra-
ternity, spoke fetchingly in response to "Toasts."

JOHN PETER AHL, SURGEON'S MATE.

The career of this patriot of the Revolu-
tion has interested me no little, for he was
worthy, conscientious and brave and I have
no doubt that he was a good surgeon for the
times in which he lived. He was born in King
St., Berlin, Germany, in 1748, and came to
America early in the Revolution. There is
reason to believe, as will appear later, that
he was among those Hessian troops who were
hired by petty German princes tOi George III
to help him in his efforts to reduce to submis-
sion his rebellious subjects in the American
colonies. The accounts state that he had been
"impressed" into the British service and .had
left it after reaching this country, and that he
first settled in Bucks Co., Penna. We cannot
affirm with certainty that he deserted; he may
have been captured and paroled. But it would
be no discredit to him had he done so, when
we consider the circumstances under which
he had been compelled to fight against those
who had never harmed him or his country-
men. He may have been among the 1000
Hessians, who, on that dreadful morning,
after a wild Christmas orgy, were surprised
in their Cjuarters at Trenton and taken prison-
ers by the despised Washington and • his
ragged followers. One of the officers captured
there was Dr. Heinrich Keerl, surgeon, who
came under parole to Baltimore, was pleased
with it and settled here as physician, and, like
Ahl, died here and both indeed by a singular
coincidence in the same year. Ahl may have
accompanied Keerl from .Trenton, to Balti-
more.

The first definite information .we have of
him here is in 1776, when he arrived in Balti-

OLD MARYLAND

more. As Dr. Charles Frederick A'Veisenthal
vvas then the examining surgeon of candidates
lor positions in the medical department of the
Continental Army, it is quite likely that Ahl
owed his subsequent appointment to this sur-

Ahl did not remain long inactive. With
mat bold, resolute character which he exhib-
ited in his subsequent career, he determined
to share his lot with the rebels, and, with this
design, sought and obtained the position of
"surgeon's mate," in Colonel Armand's Legion
of the Pennsylvania Line, under Drs. Laroche
and Remmickle. In taking this step, since he
had not been discharged from the British serv-
ice, he exposed himself to great danger in case
of capture, and therefore, in accordance with
the advice of his colonel, and as a matter of
prudence, he changed his name to "Venall."
With his corps, he marched northwards, and
early in the spring of 1777 we find him en the
Hudson above New York City.

Ahl made no claim to the freedom from dan-
ger to which his position as non-combatant en-
titled him. Like the trained war-horse, he smelt
the battle from afar and hastened forward with
joy to take part. When detachments of the
corps were sent out upon special duty, he accom-
panied them as volunteer and shouldered his gun
like the privates. So that without doubt he had
his share of adventures and hair-breadth es-
capes.

There was about this time with the army of
the British General Howe a young officer of
dragoons, who had lately come over the sea.
Although yet scarcely out of his teens, he was
full of bravery and ambition and had already
entered on that career of stormy activity and
cold-blooded cruelty which later made him the
terror of the South. It was on the 17th of March,
1777, that young Tarlton led a party of his horse-
rnen, bent on robbery and slaughter, up the Hud-
son to White Plains. Here in the previous Oc-
tober had the Hessian troops, under the brave
but unfortunate Von Rail, who some weeks later
was captured and killed at Trenton, distino-uished

themselves by attacking and driving the Ameri-
cans from the heights. Tarlton was, moreover,
stimulated to bold deeds by his recent capture
of General Charles Lee in New Jersey. This
officer had been surprised in an inn which was
in sight of the American army and safely car-
ried off to the enemy's camp.

What now exactly happened we know not —
whether Ahl's whole command or only a part
of it was engaged. We know that he "defend-
ed" the wounded, and it is thereby well to be
understood that he stood up manfully for them.
However it was, one of Tarlton's pitiless drag-
oons split his skull with his sabre and left him
upon the ground unconscious and weltering in
his blood. From this dreadful blow Ahl suf-
fered to the last day of his long life. Only after
months did his young and powerful constitution
restore him again to health and was he well
enough to again fulfill his military duties.

He now sought and obtained a position else-
where, with the Brigade of Muhlenberg, under
a commission of Congress. It may be conjec-
tured that it was the famous German regiment,
Muhlenberg's own, to which he w.as assigned
and that he saw with it many of the battles in
which it participated (Brandywine, Germantown,
Monmouth, Yorktown, etc.), and we may be
sure that he was not far from the fighting line.
And so he discharged his duty with all zeal and
faithfulness until Nov. 6, 1783, when the war
ended in a satisfactory peace and he was dis-
charged with honor from the service.

He then went to New York Git}' with the in-
tention of returning to his native country. But
this step was so evidently unwise and impru-
dent and accompanied by such danger, that he
abandoned it. He settled for a time in Virginia
and after some years i-emoved to Westmoreland
Co., Penna., not far from Pittsburgh. In 1818,
Congress passed an act recognizing the claims
of the heroes of the Revolution, under whicn
Ahl received an "invalid pension"' as "surgeon's
mate in the Pennsylvania Line"' on Mar. 20,
1781. Pie was now 73 and without doubt this
small addition to his resources was highly ac-
ceptable to the old patriot. His wound now
caused him much pain and he was compelled
to take large doses of anodynes to obtain even
partial relief. Therefore he resolved to seek
relief in surgery, and, accordingh', he came from

OLD MARYLAND.

Pennsylvania to Baltimore, where he hoped to
be "trepanned" and thus to get rid of the sup-
posed pressure and irritation of the brain.
Whom he consulted we do not know ; probably
Jameson, who was from York, Penna., and whose
reputation as a bold, original and successful
surgeon, was rapidly increasing. But it is al-
most certain that the operation was not done,
as there is no record of it. So it is probable that
our hero continued to suffer from the sabre
stroke of Tarlton's dragoon to the end of his
life.

In spite of Ahl's age, he continued to show
an interest in his profession and we find his
name among the members and licentiates of the
Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland.
It appears also in the Baltimore City Directory
of 1824 and 1827, as "retail apothecary" and his
shop was on Eutaw St., opposite the present
Camden Station ("Eutaw and Race St."). It
was here that he died on July 13th, 1827. Dr.
Ahl was a Lutheran minister according to the ac-
counts, but I have no evidence of his connection
with that denomination while he lived here. His
name is in the list of members of Otterbein
Church, United Brethren in Christ, corner Con-
way and Sharp Sts., and he was buried in the
graveyard of that church. He left no will. His
wife Christina was administratrix of his estate,
but no account was ever filed. There were four
sons and two daughters. One of the former,
also John, became a physician ; he was educated
in Baltimore and died at Newville, Pa., April
9, 1882. Dr. John Alexander Ahl, son of the
last-named, attended the University of Md. and
Washington Medical College, Balto., graduating
at the latter in 1838. He was highly successful
in practice and in business — milling, real estate,
paper-making, iron manufacturing, etc. After
a time he gave up practice for business. He
was a member of the 35th Congress, 1856. There
are many descendants of Dr. John Peter Ahl in
Pennsylvania.

Dr. Thomas Fell, who has just been ap-
pointed provost of the University of Maryland,
ranks deservedly high among the college presi-
dents of the United States. His fruitful work
at old St. John's is not to be interrupted,, -fejAt
he is to extend the benefit of his skill and ex-
perience to the new and large problems wWch
confront the University.

There is no doubt that the University needs
a strong executive if it is to emerge from the
rather casual methods of organization into
which it has drifted and is to hold its own
in the tenser struggle which such institutions
must wage if they are to survive in these
days. Development of new and ambitious
plans for this venerable institution is an en-
couraging sign of its vitality, and gives good
ground for hope and faith in its iuture^-^News^

In presenting to the Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty an oil portrait of Dr. John Francis M:on--
monier, '34, the gift of his children, Dr. Corddl
spoke of this worthy physician's family, life and
services. He was descended from a French fam-
ily — Montmonier de Sconbecque-^that traced its
origin to the Crusades. His grandfather came to
Baltimore from the Island of San Domingo, at
the time of the insurrection of the negroes there
in 1793.

Dr. Monmonier was born in 1813, .and diet! in
1894. He received his academic degree at St.
Mary's College and his medical degree at the
University, where he had for instructors Nathan
R. Smith, Eli Geddings, Robley Dunglison, Na-
thaniel Potter, Richard Wilmot Hall and Jule.s
Timoleon Ducatel. Dr. Cordell gave some in-
teresting details of conditions prevailing at the
University at that date. His activities were va-
ried. He was City Councilman, President of the
Board of School Commissioners, Physician to the
Board of Health, and Professor in .the Washing-
ton University School of Medicine. He was orator
and President of the Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty, and as chairman of its Executive Com-
mittee, from 1858 to 1869, he rendered it con-
spicuous service by preserving its organization
and caring for its property.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS OF CADET
GEORGE WASHINGTON TURNER, AT
WEST POINT, TO FRIENDS IN VIR-
GINIA, I829-3J.

[These letters have an added interest from the
fact that the writer lost his life at the hands of
John Brown and his party, in Oct., 1859. He
was shot through the breast from the engine
house at Harper's Ferry, where the insurgents
had taken their stand, and died soon after. Al-
though he has so much to say about the ladies,
he never married.]

The first is dated Nov. 11, 1829, and is ad-
dressed to his young sisters at school at Emmits-
burg. It is in the high moral style prevalent at
that day and full of good advice. As showing
the character of the mail service then, it may be
mentioned that it was received 11 days after it
was v.Titten,

Jan. 22, 1830. He sends his father the results
of the examination of his class, just held. His
standing is better than he expected. The sub-
jects' of examination were drawing, "chymistry"
and natural philosophy. The course had been a
very difficult one and he had not written a let-
ter, read a paper or spent an idle evening for some
time. Tlie subjects of study for the remainder
of the year were electro-magnetism, optics, as^
tronomy, drawing and chemistry, with a review
of the year preparatory to examination in June.
He holds an office in the corps which relieves him
from a portion of the military duty and allows
more time for study. "We have had the small-
pox on the Point, but the precautions taken by
our surgeon happily prevented its reaching the
corps."

March 4, 1830, to his father: "There have
been several coiirt-martials here lately. I wa.'^
extremely sorry to hear that our very kind friend.

Col. R. Jones, was involved in some difficidty
with Maj. Gen. Macomb. Whatever may be the
nature of the charge — which will be made known
to us officially only with the decision of the court_
— I sincerely hope that he may be honorably ac-
quitted. One officer I know — at present stationed,
at this place — and I think there are others, has
been removed from Washington, on account of
a delicacy felt by their wives to associate with
the lady of our Secretary. As it would be rather,
unusual to court-martial a colonel for an offence
committed b_v his wife, I presume. Col. J.'s de-
linquency is of a different nature.

"You have doubtless disapproved of the course
which some of the debates have taken in the Sen-
ate this year. Though well calculated to elicit
the finest efforts of some of the ablest members,
I think it was equally well calculated to compro-
mise the dignity of the Senate and to encourage
and rejuvenate political and sectional . prej,udiGeg.
The brilliancy of the efforts which have, already
rhed a lustre over the session can scarcely make
amends for injury of this sort. Honest industry
appears to me preferable to perverted geniiis,
Mr. Crockett appears very anxious to. send us
all o& from this place. It not infrequently oc-
curs that we know not the value of blessings
until we lose them. Should we become involved
in war, I imagine the people would estimate more
highly the value of this Academy. It is, I be^
lieve, the only school in the country where en-
gineering is regularly taught and almost the only
one where it can be. Instruction in the sciences
is at no other institution in America near so
thorough as at this. And the attempts made
elsewhere to inculcate practically the rigid dis-
cipline of military life and to give instruction
in the higher branches of tactics, when the au-
thority of the instructors was not supported by

OLD MARYLAND

the powerful principle of self-interest and by the
strong- arm of the Government, have proved al-
niO'Sf jjitterly abortive. You have probably, dear
Papa,' iseeh the pamphlet which has been issued
during' the course of the winter with regard to
this place. I read it sometime since and can
say, on my own knowledge, that many of the
stat^^aents cont-a-ined in it are untrue and the con-
clusions deduced entirely false. Truth, where
she appears, is presented wrong-side foremost —
if I may use the expression — with her features
so distorted as scarcely to be recognizable. The
author is without doubt Captain Partridge, who
vv'as succeeded, as Superintendent of this place,
by Col. Thayer and who is very far from havh;g
recovered from the violent offence which he took
on. that occasion.

"Amid my occupations here, my dear Father,
I never cease to^ regret that I can not relieve you
of .the many cares and toils of business. I would
willingly leave them all for that purpose. Your
truly affectionate letters I hail as the greatest
boon I can receive and they never fail to remind
me aiiew of all my g66d resolutions. I fre-
cjuently reflect on the subject of a profession for
life,' but always come to the conclusion that the
circumstances which will most materiallv affect
the selection are not yet sufficiently developed
to indicate a choice."

He adds in this letter a P. S. to Miss Philippa,
a connection containing some tender expressions.
Jt is rather rare for a young man to write a post-
script 'to his sweetheart in his father's letter.
He refers to Miss Portia, her sister: "So Miss
Portia is actually arid positively married. Well,
the idea seems rather strange when I call her
to nifnd romping and playing on the green lawn
at Wheatland, she slapping riiy cheeks and I pull-
mg out her combs and disarranging her beauti-
ful, locks. She was then, I may say, a girl and
I but a little boy."

March 30, 1830, to his father. The Equinoc-
tial storm had just occurred and had been suc-
ceeded by balmy spring weather. He is looking

forward with impatience to the next examination,
which would make him a first classman with but
one course of studies before him. The second
year studies, which he was now reviewing, were
the most difficult and longest of the four. The
first year course was comparatively easy and the
privileges considerable.

May 6, 1830, to his sisters: "Spring, with all
her brightest decorations, encompassed by the
most delightful perfumes, diffusing' pleasure and
exciting brilliant hopes and cheerful gaiety, is
just hailirig'ais here.' The prospects around us
are of the finest order. The dense woods on the
monntain-sides present the most charming ap-
pearance.' The}' look mellow and rich. Surely
sparing is the time for innocent pleasure, for re-
iiewal of hope, of friendly feeling, of good reso-
liitions and of gratitude. We enjoy the spring
and fall seasons here without fear of sickness,
one of the usual attendants at least of the Fall
to the South. We enjoy fine health here, at pres-
ent, and anticipate a great deal of pleasure during
the course of the summer. Our encampment has
its pleasures as well as its toils and I look for-
ward with no common zest to their coming, after
five or six months hard study in Barracks. How
delighted should I be if you could come up here
on a flying trip. LTpon my return I hope to have
the pleasure of attending you on such an ex-
cursion. I frequently catch myself dreaming
about a second glimpse of the rosy cheeks and
bright eyes of the Old Dominion. The year will
soon pass."

"You appear both to have been highly pleased
— as I was sure you would be — with your visit
to Mt. Vernon." (The families were nearly
related.) "It is not only a most beautiful spot,
combining the gifts of nature with those of
art, but well calculated to excite emotions of
the highest order. The bosom which would not
thrill with sentiments of gratitude,' of pride and
of philanthropy on reflecting on the characters
of its former inmates would possess but little
sensibility. The bones of General and Mrs. Wash-
ington, it appears, are at length to be removed.
A country's gratitude is a debt often of tardy
payment, but, as it is gained only by sterling
merit, so is its value inappreciable. The land-
scape, as you observe, Christine, from the Mt.
\'ernon mansion house is very fine, though not

OLD MARYLAND

so good as I have seen elsewhere or as I see
here every day. The prospect here, besides the
advantages of that at Mt. Vernon, possesses
greater variety and is more extended. The coun-
try seats on the bank of the Hudson are the most
beautiful that I have ever seen and I imagine
scarcely exceeded in richness and variety of pros-
pect of any in the world. I am told that about
Boston the scenery is equally fine. I anticipate
a great deal of pleasure from a visit to that part
cf the country, either upon graduating or be-
fore."

June 17, 1830, to his father: "The dullness
of campi life is generally diverted in the evening
after supper, in spite of fatigue, by a dance — a
stag dance for want of ladies. Our rustic amuse-
ment has, however, frequently attracted the at-
tention and attendance of our fair visitors at
the hotel, and thev have more than once con-
descended to honor. us by joining in the amuse-
ments with much zest."

"I had intended inquiring of you in this let-
ter some of the principal distinctions between
the principles of the old Federal and Democratic
]iarties, but in perusing Mr. Wirt's life of Henry,
I have found them there concisely enumerated."

"The examination is not yet over, though that
of my class was concluded two or three days
since and we are now enjoying the enviable
ofiiitn cum dignitate. The rolls have not yet
been published. In my next I will inform you
of my standing."

Another postscript to Miss Phil.

Camp Eaton, W. Point, July 2d, 1830, to his
father: "I fear you will be sorry to hear that
I have lost my old standing in general merit
by one — being now 7th, whereas I was before
6th. Give yourself no uneasiness for my feel-
ings on the occasion, my dear father, for I am
quite unconcerned at it, though I hope not culpa-
bly so. Mr. Prentiss, the gentleman who has
risen me, tells me that he has seen the aggre-
gates of the marks on the different branches and
that he exceeded me but by a single unit. Pre-
viously to the last examination I was above Mr.

in drawing. Though I have not seen the rolls
on the particular branches since the examina-
tion, I am under the impression that I am still
above him in philosophy and chemistry, but that
he has risen and I have fallen in drawing, for
which I have but little taste, though it is here
ranked equally with chemistry. Tlie first seven
are Park, Allen, Clay, Peyton, Norton, Prentiss,
Turner. A difiference of standing of one or
two, about my place in the class, I have learned
to consider not very important. I pray God to
extend you peace and happiness. Your tenderly
attached son, G. W. T."

DEPARTMENT OF LAW.

One of the ways in which the standard of
a school is tested is by the records made by
its, .graduates. While it is undoubted that the
Law School of the University of Mar.ylan_d is
in the front rank with other law schools
throughout the country, it is very pleasing
when evidence of the efficacy of pur training
is brought to our attention. The following
is a letter which Mr. Hunter, who is the Secre-
tary to Judge Harlan, has received . from- Mr.
Virtume P. A. Ouinn, who , studied law at our
school. The message contained therein speaks

may be rewarded with the same success which
has marked his first step in his chosen profes-

send a delegation and Princeton and a num-
ber of other colleges and tmiversities will be
represented. The matter has been taken up
with the Faculty, but we are informed has re-
ceived little encouragement there, but the of-
fer remains and if any department of the Uni-

1 he students. will, wear cap and gowns and be
decorated with a sash bearing their school col-
ors and other emblems. The entire outfit will
cost $2.Q.O and can be hired in Washington
from firms who have received contracts for
tliis costuming. The men who do take part
will be able to see the pageant from an es-
pecially advantagous position. Marching down
Pa. Avenue in the parade, they will have an
opportunity to. look at all the decorations,
which certainly cannot be done from the side-
walks, and after arriving at the Capitol they
will be placed in such a position as to be able
to review the military section of the parade,
which will immediately follow them in line.

The Committee of Arrangements for this Di-
vision of the parade inform us that a school
cannot be represented unless it has at least
twenty men ready to march. If there are an}^
men in other Departments that are interested
in this matter, more information can be given

them by addressing- a communication to the
President of the Democratic Club, either at
the Law School or in care of Dr. Cordell.

The Senior Class at the Law School are es-
pecially pleased to announce that they have
Secured Mr. Albert C. Ritchie to speak to them
oh the fuilctions of 'the Public Service -Com-

'^mission. Mr. Ritchie as is well known was
Assistant Counsel for this Commission and

"made quite a record for himself in that ca-
pacity.

His address on the functions of the Commis-

■ B!on should be particularly interesting to all
the students, but especially wilLit be of in-
terest to the members of the Senior Class in-
asmuch as it will serve to give them a line

'on their Thesis topic, which' is, as has been

■ before announced in these columns, "The lines

■ rif demarcation between Executix-e, Judicial
and Legislative functions of government, with
special reference to the acts of a municipal
board or commission." The Public Service

■ Commission is such a commission as is con-
• lemplated in this subject and Mr. Ritchie will

have an interested audience of Seniors. All
students at the University are most heartily
invited to attend as well as any of our collegi- '
ate brothers at St. John's.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE.

Up to the preseht time over fifty applications
have been receivecl by Dr; Coale' for places as
Senior Internes in the University Hospital for
the coming year. Accommodations are made
for only forty,' so undoubtedly Some of the
men are to be disappointed in not bsiiig able
to secure an appointment. To obviate such an
occtirrencei happening in the future and also
that every 'future member of' the Senior Class
may fare equally with his fellows as regards
hospital work, it has been stated on good au-
'thority, that "after May 1914, each succeeding '
Senior Class will be divided into four sections,
"each section to pu't in three months in the hos-

Cards, etc., for Physicians, Lawyers and Dentists. '

pital. As matters stand at present, a great in-
equality exists as regards the house men. Many
of the students reside in Baltimore and to en-
ter the Hospital would be a great additional
expense. Moreover, as happens this year, all
who desire the positions cannot be placed.
Should the proposed project be made a reality
by the Faculty, it will meet with the warm ap-
- probation of the students. Prof. Shipley, who
is always working for the interests of the stu-
dents, is reported to be the father of the move-
ment. ,

Commencing Saturday, Feb. 1, and every
Saturday thereafter until the close of the col-
lege year, Prof Spear will hold clinics at Bay
\'iew H^ospital for the Ltsane.

Dr. Clopton has taken charge of Dr. Robin-
son's section in Physicial Diagnosis, Dr. Rob-
inson wishing to devote his time to Skin Dis-
eases.

It is safe to say that by far the vast ma-
jority of the students were vaccinated during
the past smallpox scare. No ill results fol-
lowed except in two cases. Mr, Norbert
Nitsch, president of the Senior Class, shortly
after -being vaccinated suffered a reaction ; his
arm swelling considerably and necessitating
lancing. Mr. Mordecai, of the Junior Class,
also suffered some ill results, which forced him
to spend a few days in the University Hospital.
From latest reports both are progressing very
favorably.

The room opposite the Dean's office, which
heretofore has been idle, has been completely
renovated in anticipation of the Provost's com-
ing. Dr. Fell may feel assured that he will
be royally welcomed by the students and that
he will have their earnest co-operation in every
manner possible.

The regular monthly meeting of the Ran-
dolph Winslo-»v Surgical Society was held Mon-
day evening, Jan. 26, in Davidge Hall, the
President, Mr. Breeding, presiding. After the
regular business transactions, papers were read
by Mr. Callahan- and Mr. Breeding. The sub-
"ject of Mr. C-allahan's paper was "The Treat-
ment of Cholelithiasis." Mr. Breeding's topic
was "Thyroidectomy." The following mem-
bers of the Junior Class were recently elected
to membership in the society: Messrs. Vin-

OLD MARYLAND

son, Byers, Denny, Johnson, Katzenberger.
Walsh, Warner, Bradley, Mordecai, Hicks,
Metcalfe, and Lemba'ugh.

The next meeting will be held Monday, Feb.
2'i, at which meeting three papers of surgical
mterest will be read, to be followed by a gen-
eral discussion.

Prof. Hirsh is adding materially to the
Junior Pathology course by means of stereop-
ticon lectures which are to be held weekly in
the Chemical Hall.

It is with much regret that the students note
the continued absence of two of their much
esteemed professors — Drs. Hemmeter and C.
Mitchell. In their absence, Dr. Conser is help-
ing the Sophs osmose Physiology while Prof.
Zueblin is holding the Junior Medical Clinics
m lieu of Prof. Mitchell. Prof. Hirsh is lec-
turing to the Seniors on Diseases of Children.

While it is generally stated that the stu-
dents of the U. of M. are lacking in college
spirit, still, if that accusation be true, it is be-
cause the rowdyism coincident with painting
the town red and other such unbecoming con-
duct, which to the scandalized laity are get-
ting to be regarded as a part of a college edu-
cation, are foreign to this University. The
men studying at the University are for the
most part serious, they come here to work and
not to play and so frivolity and actions which
bring not credit, but disgrace to themselves
and this school are unknown or at least not
countenanced. But the students are fired with
college spirit, not the wild type, but that which
has for its object the betterment of their
school. The abolition of hazing, the Honor
System and many other reforms of like nature
. were almost wholly student moves. Nor
could the spirit of the students be better ex-
emplified than by the joy with which the an-
nouncement that the University was again
listed as a class A school was received. The
men have always felt that they were receiving
a course equal to that given in any other col-
lege, yet there are Thomases like the Biblical

Thomas and the now proverbial Missourian
who must be shown and now we are able to
show them in black and white, and to spread
the good word along'. The University is more
a Southern school, not known very well in the
T^^orth, yet not unknown. In this regard one
of the University's present students happened
to be talking with one of the graduates of the
liest known medical school in Massachusetts
and whose opinion was most apt to be biased
concerning the worth of the University. "Yes,"
he said, "since you've decided to go there to
school I've been making inquiries and a fellow
practitioner tells me that it is quite as good
as Hopkins.'' We have always kept that
opinion deep in our hearts, nor are we slow to
speak it out at times. As the poet said, "What's
in a name?'' Yet there is much that the hun-
gry poet ne'er dreamed in his dreamy dreams
of pen and that's what we are striving for, to
help push the University along the high road
TO fame and name, and when by the Grace of
God and the Faculty we are blessed with our
sheepskins, to be apostles and help sow the
good seed. AVe have no big endowments, no
fancy laboratories — yet withal we are supreme-
ly happy. And that the University does not
only turn out well educated men could not be
better attested than by the following incident:
On a train bound for Philadelphia, a former
student of our college chanced to strike up a
conversation with a young fellow. ■ Among
ether subjects, the talk turned to that of col-
leges and when our man mentioned that he was
from the University, his new found friend
Vv-as much elated. "I've been studying at a
college in Philadelphia," he said, "and you
know your team played ours last year. I'm
sorry — partly so — to say that your team lost,
but notwithstanding bad decisions that would
make one feel like chasing the uinpire off the
field, your men acted like real gentlemen in
every way. I've been thinking of studying
medicine and so I've decided that if your Uni-
versity can send such men to represent them
in the baseball team, that all the rest of the
men must be gentlemen and the college a good
college." So we are not only known by our
works, but by our actions, and actions speak

OLD MARYLAND

louder than words or works and when the poet
taid that latter he wasn't dreaming.

The news from the Freshman, Sophomore,
Junior and Senior Classes is very melancholy,
but we hope that after the smoke of the battle
clears away they will need no Marc Antony
for eulogy purposes. Examinations dim the
horizon. For Freshmen it is practical anat-
omy, for the Sophs, physiological lab., for the
Juniors, clinical lab., and for the Seniors, sur-
gery. "Outside of that we're all right."

The Pennsylvania Branch of the General
Alumni Association held its 8th annual meeting
and banquet at the Continental Hotel, Philadel-
phia, on the evening of February 13, Dr. Lewis
H. Adier, President, presiding. Professor Ran-
dolph Winslow delivered the address, . in which
he spoke especially of the changes taking place
in the University, of the new Provost and the
improvements which are making of it a new in-
stitution, of our hopes, our aspirations and our
needs. A very fine supper was partaken of, after
which the following officers were elected : Presi-
dent, James E. Clawson, M. D., "55, of Phila. ;
i'ice-Pres., William H. Lowell, D. D. S., '86,
of Lancaster; Scc.-Treas., John C. C Beale, D.
D. S., '92, of Philadelphia. The next meeting,
we understand, will be held at York.

In defining the term "full-time instructor," as
applied to medical colleges, in answer to a query
by Dr. Harry Leffman, of Phila., the Journal
of the American Medical Association throws light
on this question, which is one of great present
interest to the schools. The following terse def-
inition is given: "Tlie 'full-time teacher' is one
whose work is in the college ; his private library
is there ; his research work is there ; his interests
are there; he can be readily found by the stu-
dents tO' whom his work is a constant inspira-
tion. Instead of the empty, lifeless laboratory

'Of. interest at this time is the account of the
dedication of the Trees Gymnasium and Athletic
Field of the University of Pittsburgh, on Oct.
3, 1912. At a dinner' given tO~ the Football Team

■on Dec. 2, 1910, Mr. J. C. Trees-, of the class of
1895, announced his intention of giving $100,000
for the purpose of erecting a" gymnasium and
constructing a new athletic field. The work was
begun in April, 1911, and was completed at, the
opening of the present session. A pamphlet is-
sued bv the university gives an interesting illus-
trated account, of the proceedings, accompanying
the dedication,' including the address of Robert
Tait McKenzie,- Director of Physical Training,
University of Penna., the donor and others. Hear
what- Mr. Trees- said: "The Gymnasium; and
Field were given to the university,, first because
I love 'Old'U.'of P.'; second because at the, time

. I felt that, of all the cr3ang needs, it' was the
one most pressing ; and last, because. I wanted
in some substantial manner to repay part of the
debt I owe her.'" When will our "Trees" make

ns appearance :

A great event on the Pacific Coast, a\\ epoch
in the progress of far western medicine, was the
dedication of tlie Lane Medical Library of Le-
land Stanford Jr. Uiiiz'ersity, at Sau Francisco,
en Nov. 3, 1912. Tl-ie building was erected with
funds provided by Dr. Levi Cooper Lane and
Pauline C. Lane, his wife, amounting to $40,000
in money and one-third of real estate valued at
$150,000, supplemented by funds contributed by
the University Trustees.

The library now numbers 40,000 volumes,
being the largest of any of the university libraries
in America and the seventh in size of all the
medical' libraries in the country. The building
was constructed of grey sandstone on a- stee!
frame. Handsome mural paintings ■ adorn the
reading room. The stock rooms are fireproof
and can' be cut off by metal doors from the rest
of the building. There are accommodations for
80,000 volumes and indefinite extension, with
special libraries and reading rooms.

We can well excuse our California brethren
and the authorities of the western university for

O'LD MAR^LAMS:

the outburst of pride, of exultation, of boastful-
ness, that characterized this event. We congratii-
late them on their great acquisition, which is
one step towards that three-fold metropolitanism
— New York, Chicago, San Francisco — toward

which they aspire. -■

We have received with the compliments of
Hynson, Westcott & Co., a handy little book,
entitled "The Modern Materia Medica, Third
Edition," gotten out by the Druggists' Circular
of New York. It is a yearly compilation by the
able editorial staff of that journal and is up to
■date, reliable and remarkably comprehensive. It
gives "the Source, Chemical and Physical Prop-
erties, Therapeutic Action, Dosage, Antidotes and
Incompatibles of all Additions to the newer Ma-
teria Medica likely to be called for on Prescrip-
tions, with name and address of the manufac-
turer or proprietor and in case of Foreign Arti-
cles, of the American Agent." It will prove a
handy help to the physician and pharmacist and
should be kept close at hand for reference. This
is in the line of helpfulness to the profession
which characterizes everything that this firm does.
The profession and the community are fortunate
in having such a high-toned and progressive
jjharmaceutical establishment in their midst as
Hynson, Westcott & Co.

In the insurance of Iiis life for the benefit of
the University, Dr. Hemmeter has set an exam-
ple that should be followed by others. In no
v.'ay can a friend of the University fielp it so ef-
fectuallv as by this means. The annual tax is
moderate and not burdensome, the ultimate profit
is comparatively large, much larger than could
be realized by any ordinary subscription. The
idea is not a new one — it has been suggested
before, but it is difficult to induce those wiho^
ought to be interested to adopt it. We hope that
some will be impressed with its advisability and
act accordingly.

The Annual Baltimore Alumni Banquet .of
St. John's College (Department of Arts _and
Sciences) was held at the Hotel Belvedere, Bal-
timore, Feb. 15. Mr. Philemon H. Tuck was
elected President and Judges John P. Briscoe.
James P. Gorter, Henry D. Harlan, Walter I.
Dawkins and H. Arthur Stump were elected
Vice-Presidents. J. H. C. Kemp was made,- Sec-
retary and Peter P. Blanchard Treasurer. The
banquet having been disposed of, Judge Dawkins,
Retiring President and Toastmaster, called upon
the various speakers, Mr. Tuck, Dr. Fell, Dr.
Winslow, Mr. John S. Newman, '90, of Freder-
ick, Mr. Addison E. Mullikin, '95, Professor
Gunn and Mr. John S. Gates. Much was said
in praise of the action of the Regents in electing
Dr. Fell to the Provostship. Dr. Fell expressed
his gratification at being selected to guide. the
destinies of the University. The esprit de corps
of St. John's men is never lacking at these meet-
ings or indeed at any other tirne, and manifested
itself in the usual enthusiastic way. The Execu-
tive Committee for the year consists of Freder-
ick Sasscer, Dr. Wirt A. Duvall, Dr. J§mes A.
Nydegger, L. B. K. Claggett, Edwin Warfield,
Jr., and John T. Harrison. There were 62 sub-
scribers to the banquet. , ,

The question of admitting zvomen to profes-
sional schools has its advocates and opponents.
Theoretically it is still sub judice, practically it
has been successfully tested. In our own institu-
tion women have been admitted in the depart-
ments of pharmacy and dentistry for some y^^grs
and they have not proven objectionable; indeed
their companionship seems to have exercised a
rather beneficial efifect upon students of the other
sex, who are more or less restrained in their
conduct thereby. The Johns Hopkins has made
a full trial of men in its medical school, and while
they may not have proved altogether welcome
to the teachers, they certainly have not interfered
in any way, so far as we can see, with the pros-
perity of that institution. Why should they not
be admitted tO; the law and rnedical departments
of the University of Maryland? What greater
objection is there to their taking up the study
of law, than that of pharmacy or dentistry? We
know of one lady who is exceedingly ^anxious

5Lfi MAfeVLANO

to pursue the law course here and there are oth-
ers, no doubt, since women are aspiring in this
as well as other directions hitherto monopolized
by men. There are no serious objections to it
on the grounds of propriety and 'morals and there
are manifest advantages on financial grounds. Both
the law and medical departments could increase
their income by it annually by several thousand
dollars. Why not open these departments tO'
them ? The trend of events is strongly in the
direction of greater privileges and opportunities
for women. Why not exercis.e a little foresight
and wisdom by meeting the tide halfway and ben-
efiting bv it at once?

The report of the Endowment Fund will be
a disappointment to many who^ hoped or expect-
ed that it would reach or closely approximate
the $50,000 mark. Tlie deficiency appears in the
Hemmeter Fund. When Judge Stockbridge, act-
ing Provost, announced last Academic day that
Dr. Hemmeter had contributed $5,300 to the fund
for his chair, $5000 in securities and $300 in cash,
the nature of the securities was not known. It
turned out that they consisted of a life insurance
policy. This of course cannot be included in the
report of the fund and explains why the Hemme-
ter Fund is $4,239.86 instead of "about $10,-
000.", The chief increase in the Ftmd was in
the "Fac. of Physic Fund" and is due largely
to Dr. Randolph Winslow's efl^orts in behalf of

THE CERTIFICATION OF PHARMACISTS.

Dear Doctor: —

Certain !^ew York physicians an<J pharmacists have
appointed a joint committee which Is to thoroughly in-
vestigate New Yorli pharmacies and certify to the worth
of those that meet reasonable modern requirements in
stock, in equipment and in practice.

We believe our greatly enlarged facilities and up-to-
date equipment vv'ould amply entitle us to such certifica-
tion. The character of work we have been doing for more
than hoenty years has, we hope, thoroughly and firmly
established us in your esteem and favorably testifies as
to our abilities and methods.

This unique establishment is fully equipped for pre-
scriptions and stocked with a large assortment of sick
room supplies, invalid's appliances and household drugs
and chemicals; surgical instruments and physician's sup-
plies are more fully stocked at Charles and Franklin

We are working with you doctor, not against you.

the Pathological department. The increase in
the General Fund was $646.68 ; as the Chairman
of th€ Committee on Endowment added $315 to
that Fund, the rest of this $648.68 must have
been derived from interest.

The Chairman regrets that he is not able to
publish the Treasurer's report in full.

It is now 16 years since the Fund was founded'
and the Chairman of the Endowment Committee
recalls with pleasure that every contribution re-
ceived by him has been turnefl over to the Trus-
tees in its entirety. Not in a single case has a
cent been lacking, notwithstanding the expense

incurred.

We regret to learn that the District of Colum-
bia Branch of the General Alumni Association,
which a few years ago seemed sO' vigorous, has
lapsed into a state of innocuous and apparently
irremediable desuetude. No meeting has been
held for several years and it seems impossible
to aroiise interest. We recently suggested to
some of the Washington brethren, that this was
a good time to revive it when the university has
just entered upon a new era and that our new
provost could doubtless be induced to attend a
called meeting and make an address. Drs. Harry
Hurtt, the last President, and A. C. Valentine,
Corresppnding Secretary, adopted this suggestion
and sent cn.it notices of a preliminary meeting at
the ofifice of the former. Not a single person
besides themselves attended. Dr. Valentine
writes: "Dr. Hurtt has exhausted every means
to arouse interest but to no avail. I regret very
much to make such a gloomy report, but must
state facts. However, I am in hopes of some
day Reviving interest by means of younger blood."
We sympathize deeply with Dr. Valentine, who
is a true friend and loyal alumnus of the univer-
sity. It is men like Beale and Valentine that
form the real backbone of a university.

Horatio Gates Jameson, a graduate of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, class of 1813, achieved gre.it
distinction by his experimental studies with the
animal ligature, which were duplicated by Lord
Lister a generation later. These studies, based
on animal experimentation, are pronounced b}'
Dr. Marcy, of Boston, to be "monumental."

deiit'botly of 'the Dental Department, his topic,
being "LodKing Forward."

"M his disctissicn of the subject, Mr. Golds-

neous notion that young men were apt to get,
cLpTlsuniing 'that greatness of attainment in any
hilfe'^bf endeavor must and can come only as the

ginning with January 1st, he has given, up prac-
iice and is now representing the well-known Col-
gate Company in their dental specialty line. Tlie
territory of his operations comprises the New
England States.

Charles L. Snively, class of 1905, for several
years past in practice in Newark, N. J., is now
at the University Hospital, recovering from an
operation, for acute appendicitis.

B. F. Copp, class of 1895, for many years lo-
cated in Silver City, New Mexico, made a short
visit to the Dean, who is his classmate, during
the early part of February. Dr. Copp is con-
templating' the organization of a development
company which shall operate along the lines as
planned by the National Government for forest
preservation. His plans call for interesting the
government, with his company, in developing a
peak of the Massanutton Mountain, near Stras-
burg, ,Va. . He hopes to bring his family east to
live, if his scheme materializes successfully.

Dr. W. A. Rea, Chief Demonstrator of the
Infirmary, spent several days during the latter part
of January in Pittsburgh, Pa., as the represent-
ative of the Dental Department of the Univer-
sity of Maryland at a meeting of the National
Institute of Dental Pedagogics.

The three local chapters of the Xi Psi Phi
Fraternity gave their annual reception and dance
at Lehmann's Hall, Feb. 21. Flags and emblems
were abundant. An orchestra played and sup-
per was served from 11 to 12. About 70 guests
were present. The following constituted the
Com. of Arrangements: J. F. Thompson, A. H.
Lepine, R. A. Bideau, H. W. Dorelus, D. D.
Casto, G. A. Lynch, R. W. Brockett, W. L, Kib-
ler and W. T. Wright, Jr.

The work is moving on in the usual good way.
Our midwinter examinations have begun in all
classes.

It is quite interesting to note the enthusiasm
existing in the Infirmary, especially in the Se-
nior class. Everyone is trying to complete his
work and be ready for the final rollcall, and from
what I have heard, and judging from the work,

the class of 1913 will be the largest in the his-
tory of the Dental Dept.

We are glad to have Dr. Davis with us again,
after several weeks" of illness, and we trust he
will be able to be with us at every lecture.

Dr. Robert Ellington, a member of the class
of 1912, was a welcome visitor on the campus
last week. "Bob" is located in Salisbury, N. C,
and is meetingf with big success.

It gives me pleasure to state that Mr. Fitz-.
gerald, a member of the Senior class, is improv-
ing very rapidly from the attack of pneumonia.
Hurry up and get well, "Fitz," for we need you
back with us.

In writing this report, I am compelled to make
mention of the good work going on in our dept ,
namely that of Dr. Patterson in plate work. He
has so handled the situation that he succeeds in
having" every Senior make a die and counter-
die for his plate. The all-round work that has
been done by Dr. Patterson is to be commended,
and we join hands with him in establishing a
greater dental dept. of U. of M.

Another thought that impressed me in regard
to building up our dept. was expressed in one
of Dr. Hopkinson's lectures, when he said he
hoped that the Senior class would organize
Alumni Associations and contribute annually to
the permanent LTniversity Fund, for the school
which lives and prospers must have an endow-
ment. Let us, as Seniors, get together and con-
sider this.

The Junior class held its annual banquet Feb.
19 in the Y. M. C. A. Dining Hall. Prof. Heat-
wole was toastmaster and speeches were made
by niimbers of the Faculty and class. A Dental
Dormitory was generally advocated.

tical chemistry for the medical students. The

as busy as bees working on grinds, rhymes, etc.

oratory is a great pleasure as well as benefit to

all the seniors and it recalls cheerfully the shades
of former package wrapping days of the junior
class. Dr. Hynson lectures on many and varied
prescriptions, after which the students proceed
to the labdratory and' work on the most impor-
tant.

In the examination on "Commercial Phar-
macy" Professor Hynson laid great stress on this
question in bookkeeping: "On Jan. 1 A. B.Camp-
bell, Jr., pharmacist at Camden, S. C, was in-
debted to H. O. Sale and Co., Balto., to the
amount of $1750.00. He borrowed $1000.00 on
his note, at twelve months, from his father and
paid this to H. O. Sale & Co. on accoimt by
cheeky. He returned for credit 4 doz. Hoff's Malt
at $3.00, 1 doz. fruit juices for soda water
syrups at $7.50 pet doz. and 500 cigars at $35.00
per M7" Write to H. O. Sale & Co. for Camp-
bell, who promises to pay them the balance by
hdnoring a 3-day sight draft. Make all neces-
sary entries on Campbell, Jr.'s, books and draw
required papers. Omit the journal entries."

It may interest the readers of this department
to see Professor Caspari's examination of the
senior class, in Pharmacy, held on Jan. 31. It
was as' follows :

what is the strength of the finished product and

CORRESPONDENCE.

Professor Eugene Cordell,
Sir,

As I know that you take great interest and
care in the Library of our University, I am
sending you three copies of my little book
which I made on "The Care of Nursing In-
fants."

The preface you will find interesting. It
tells about the superstitions and habits of the
poor Egyptian mothers and how they apply
these habits on their children. For instance,
a mother will never wash her child with water
whose father was a syphilitic, until a certain
age, when the child could recognize the water
by himself. Believing that the child will ac-
quire the disease from his father through the
water.

So I hope you will accept those three copies
which may be of interest, although they are
written in Arabic.

My best wishes to my old friends and Class-
mates. Yours sincerely,

N. KENAWY, M. D., '05.

(Our deep thanks are returned to Dr, Ken-
awy for his work, which has been added to the
library, as he requests. It forms a neat and
interesting little volume of 78 pages. Unfor-
tunately, ignorance of the Arabic prevents our
becoming acquainted with its contents. — Ed.)

ROBERT WOOFFINDALE, AN EARLY
AMERICAN DENTIST.

In the Dental Intelligencer for September,
1848, is a sketch of Robert ]Voojfindale, who is
pronounced the first regular H'^tital practitioner
in this country. The facts are taken from a lec-
ture on the history of the dental profession in the
United States, delivered by Dr. C. O. Cone be-
fore the class of the Baltimore College of Dental
Surgery. He was the eldest son of his parents,
and was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, in
the year 1742. His youth was passed at Shef-
field, where be received a good education. At
the age of 20 he went to London and entered the
shop of White and Gipps, apothecaries, where he
remained three years, obtaining a practical knowl-
edge of the drug business. While thus engaged
he often came in contact with Mr. Thomas Bird-
more, a well-educated gentlem?n, who held the
honorable position of dentist to the King. This
gentleman was at this time preparing a treatise
on dentistry, which was published in 1770, a
work of considerable merit.

Such association led to the adoption of the
dental profession by Wooffindale, who became a
pupil of Birdmore in 1765. Before entering
upon his service, he was rec|uired to execute a
bond for £500 sterling, not to practice his pro-
fession in London or within fifty miles of it
during the life of his preceptor. His student
life lasted not Cjuite twelve months.

In the summer of 1766 he left London and
went to Sheffield, where he disposed of some real
estate which he had inherited through the death
of his father, and on the 14th of September
following he sailed from Falmouth for New
York in search of a location for the practice of
his profession. He arrived in New York on Oc-
tober 30 and remained there about five months.

He then spent four months in Philadelphia. His
success so far had not been g- eat, although he
made a favorable impression on a few who had
employed him. On his return to New York,
however, he had an opportunity to display his
skill, being employed to construct a double set of
artificial teeth from the ivory of the hippopota-
mus. His work was in the highest degree satis-
factory and was considered a wonderful produc-
tion of genius.

Plis success led to his marriage with the niece
and adopted daughter of his patient, which took
place on September 17,. 1767.

Mr. Wooffindale was the first dentist in the
cities of New York and Philadelphia and the
only one in America with one exception, Mr. ,
Greenwood, who was wholly unknown outside of
Boston, where he resided. Nevertheless, owing
to the sparseness of the population, the novelty
of the calling and the limited demand for his ser-
vices, he determined to return to England. Ac-
cordingly, on March 25, 1768, he embarked for
Bristol, accompanied by his young wife.

He again took up his residence at Sheffield,
opening an apothecary shop and practicing den-
tistry when patients applied for his services. In
1775, having disposed of his property in Shef-
field, he removed with his family, consisting of
his wife and five children, to Liverpool, and de-
voted his attention exclusively to his profession
of dentist.

He resided at Liverpool for fourteen years,
making occasional professional ^'isits to York
and Manchester. During this ppr'od he wrote a
work entitled "Practical Observations on the Hu-
man Teeth," which was published in London in
1783, and which was superior to anything of the
kind in the English language to that date', except
Birdmore's Treatise. He also carved a double set

OLD MARYLAND.

of teeth, which, with a tooth extracted by him
from the mouth of George IV, are preserved in
the college museum.

Li 1789, Mr. Birdmore died, ivhich absolved
him from his bond, and he visited London. He
found such encouragement there and such in-
ducements offered by the former patrons of Mr.
Birdmore, that he determined to locate in the
metropolis. Accordingly he rent'^d a fashionable
house in Dover street, Piccadilly, near St. James
street and the King's Palace, and removed his
family thither.

His professional success in London was un-
paralleled. He enjoyed the favor and patronage
of the most fashionable circles and had tendered
him through Lord Southampton the post of den-
tist to the Prince of Wales, which honor he de-
clined.

Twenty-five years had now passed since he
had left America with his young bride and she
longed to return to the scenes of her early life.
He determined to gratify her, and on the 25th
day of July, 1793, he placed her and her eight
children on board the ship "Factor" bound for
New York. They reached their destination dur-
ing the following September and shortly after
removed to a farm about fourteen miles from
New York, near the town of Jamaica, Long
Island, which had been rented by the oldest son,
John.

Mr. Wooffingdale remained in London about
a year after the departure of his family, engaged
in closing his business there preparatory to join-
ing them in America, which he did in 1795. Soon
after arrival, he opened an office in New York
City and commenced practice. After two years
he resigned his patients to the care of his oldest
son and retired to his farm, where he died on the
3d of October, 1828, in his 86th year.

Says the writer from whom we quote : "He
was amiable in character with an energetic mind
and ingenious tact, which often lent him valu-
able aid in the constructive department of his
profession, but it does not appear that he made

any marked improvement or discovery in any
department of it. His published work evinced
anatomical knowledge and that his practice was
guided by physiological deductions. His high,
honorable tone and professional liberality will be
as well shown, together with the fact that the
profession at that time at least in England, was
principally confined to mechanical qualities de-
pendent on secret knowledge and empirical prac-
tices, by the following sentence taken from the
preface of his work : T am aware that, by mak-
ing public the various circumstances relating to
the teeth and the operations to be performed on
them, and exposing some of the impositions and
deceptions too often used, I shall draw upon my-
self the malevolence of ignorant pretenders to the
dentist's art. To these I have nothing to say.
Men of that profession of liberal minds will not
want an apology for exposing the various means
used for imposture in the profession, as it ap-
pears the most likely method of fixing it on a
more solid and liberal foundation than has yet
been done.' "

It may safely be affirmed that Mr, Wooffindale
was one of the best practical dentists, if not the
best, of his day, and he was so esteemed by those
of his contemporaries who were best qualified to
judge of his merits.

August i8th, 1830, to his father. He has just
returned from a four-weeks trip by stage and
canal through New York. "I left here on the
15th ulto with about $115 in my pocket and with-
out company. The weather was excessively
warm. My first step was to purchase at the Bar
of the Boat a little book, which I found exceed-
ingly useful afterwards, entitled 'Guide to the
Traveler through the Southern, Middle and East-
ern States and Canada.' This book points out
everything worthy of note on almost any route
you can take, gives an accurate description of it
and its history, thereby placing the solitary trav-
eler who is for the first time on the road on an
equality with the old resident.

OLD Maryland.

"I found the passage up the Hudson dehght-
ful — the shores studded with handsome and
flourishing towns and the scenery the finest I had
ever seen. On the boat were Secretary Van Bu-
ren and his two sons. I left the boat at the vil-
lage of Catskill, about forty miles from here and
proceeded at once in a stage which I found wait-
ing to the celebrated Catskill Mountain House,
or as it is frec^uently called, The Pine Orchard,
where I spent the night. It is distant from the
village about twelve miles over a very rough road
up the mountain. The attractions of this place
are the splendid view, extending in several direc-
tions and comprising cities, towns, villages, lakes
and rivers, and a waterfall of about 270 feet,
called the Canterskill Falls.

"On a little platform or lawn nearly at the top
of an elevated peak of the mountains stands a
very elegant and most delightful public house.
The solitude and dreariness of the surroundings
renders this habitation very striking to a stran-
ger. From here one may look upon the clouds,
lightning and rain far below, while all above and
around is calm.

"I reached the house late at night and visited
the Falls the next morning after breakfast. They
are strikingly beautiful. After dinner I took a
carriage for the village, where I arrived in time
for the steamboat North America, which con-
veyed me to Albany to supper. On the way I
met a man no years old, who related his expe-
rience in the old French War.

"The next day being Sunday, I embraced the
opportunity of being present at a meeting of
those singular people, the Shakers, who have a
,settlement of about forty men and women called
Niskayuna, eight miles from Albany. I pro-
cured a horse and rode out after breakfast. It
was very amusing. I did not comprehend a
word they said, and such singing and dancing —
you can have no idea of it until you see it. Most
of them were old and looked fanatical. How-
ever, no doubt they mean well.

"Returning to Albany to dinner, I set out in the
cool of the evening for the widely celebrated

Saratoga and reached there late at night. The
distance is about 36 miles and part of the road
is bad. I had the pleasure of traveling over the
splendid macadamized road between Albany and
Troy, which cost about $16,000 per mile. I
found Saratoga crowded, hot, dusty and dis-
agreeable and determined to get away as soon as
possible. The following day I had the pleasure
to meet an old friend and fellow-cadet, who grad-
uated last June — Lieutenant Prentiss, who in-
formed me that he was traveling with his
mother and that they would leave Saratoga that
day on the western route, for the falls, etc. Learn-
ing that I was going in the same direction, he
invited me to travel in their company, an invita-
tion which I accepted with much pleasure. He
introduced me to his mother, whom I found a
most sensible, intelligent and agreeable lady. We
set out for Schenectady the same evening, where
we arrived just in time for the canal-boat. We
proceeded on the great canal as far' as Utica,
where we arrived the following evening, having
passed over locks and aqueducts and many
other — to me — wonderful things. Utica is quite
a handsome town, with some fine buildings and
full of bustle and business.

"On the day after our arrival we set out very
early in the morning for Trenton Falls, distant
about 16 miles, which we reached to breakfast.
We spent the day viewing the Falls, returning to
Utica in the evening. I cannot pretend to de-
scribe the former or my sensations in seeing
them. Those on the Catskill dwindled to insig-
nificance in comparison, for though their height
was much greater, the body of water was much
less. For wildness and grandeur the scenery of
Trenton Falls far exceeds anything I have seen
elsewhere on my journey, with the single excep-
tion of Niagara Falls. The fall is over what is
called West Canada Creek. The water-level
makes a descent of 387 feet in five miles by a
series of falls and chutes, none of which exceed
40 feet. At the Falls there was a very good
hotel and we met several parties like ourselves
traveling for health and curiosity. A nielan-
;:holy event occurred here a few years ago : a
Miss Suydam, of New York, who was on a visit
here with her father, brother and lover, to whom
she was to be married in a short time, fell in the
water and was drowned.

OLD MARYLAND.

"Li Utica we found that greatest of comforts
for dusty travelers — a delightful bath.

"Next morning we left Utica at 4 A. M., and
after an excessively fatiguing and disagreeable
stage ride of 75 miles, arrived at Auburn at 11
P. M." The letter concludes with an expression
of admiration of the splendid stone aqueduct
bridge over the Mohawk, at Little Falls, and a
promise to continue the description of his trip in
his next letter. He mentions also the arrival of
"Henry," who, as I suppose, was his cousin, the
late Major Henry S. Turner, U. S. A., of St.
Louis.

Sept. 13, 1830, to his father: "I ha\e desired
very much indeed for some time past a sufficient
leisure to write to you and my other correspond-
ents, to many of whom I have been some time
indebted, but our time has been so much em-
ployed since coming into Barracks, as to have
prevented it. I seize this morning, before break-
fast, a little time — I cannot call it leisure, because
it is the time which I am in the habit of devoting
to the review of my lesson — to write you rather
a note than a letter. I have been particularly
anxious to write to you, my dearest Papa, be-
cause I know that your extreme solicitude for
my welfare might render you uneasy if I delayed
it longer. I wished, moreover, to congratulate
you on the fine crop which I have been told you
have made this year, and on the good health
which you ha\e enjoyed since your return from
the Springs.

"With my best love to Mamma" (this was his
stepmother) "tell her that Mr. Chevalier was
here a few days ago (on the gth inst.) in much
better health than he had enjoyed for some time.
As the weather was so wet during his stay as to
prevent our parading, he talked of returning
again in the course of a few days. He desired
me to remember him very particularly to the
family at Wheatland when I wrote.

"Henry is well and sends his love to you.

"I must defer a continuation of the descrip-
tion of my route to the west and north for the
present, both from a want of time and because
I think that you would prefer an account of the
nature of our studies. They are divided between
the civil and the military. We have commenced
a course of belles lettres which will be continued
throughout the year, comprising Murray's large
Grammar, Blair, Paley and Kent's Commen-
taries. We are also studying the Science of
Fortification, which will be succeeded by that of
Civil Engineering after January. AVe are engaged
with a course of Artillery Tactics, upon finishing
\\'hich we will take up Lifantry Tactics; We will
also study Mineralogy during the course of the
year, but the ill health of our Professor has pre-
\ented our commencing it yet. Our course of En-
gineering will comprise a great deal of right line
drawing throughout the year, of Forts, etc., before
January and of the orders of Architecture, etc.,
afterwards. (3ur course is long this year and
will require almost all our time. But, though
there is a great deal to be learned from it, it
does not require that intense application which
must be given to the knots of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy.

"Our Professor of Engineering, Mr. Mahan,
is from Virginia. He graduated first in his class
and is in the Corps of Engineers. For the last
four years he has been a student at the School
of Metz, France, where I understand he grad-
uated with considerable distinction. He has just
returned to this country and I consider our class
as peculiarly fortunate in possessing the services
of so able and withall so agreeable an instructor.
Give my best love to the family and believe me
my dearest father, most truly your aiTectionate
son. Next year I shall be with you again. P. S.
Poor but glorious France. Pier troubles, I hope,
have ended."

Dec. 8 1830, to his sister Christine, who asks
his advice about her reading.

While regretting his inability to give useful
advice from his own experience, he suggests
that she "read seriously and attentively the Bible.
A portion read each day carefully and in a proper
spirit will furnish you with a most devoted sub-
ject of medidation, the most important upon
which a human being can reflect, will enlighten
you on the history of a very interesting period —

OLD MARYLAND.

the first ages of the world, will present you with
by far the best code of morals which has ever
been displayed to the human family, will lead
you to reflect on the everyday practical duties
of life and will teach you the inducements to
act rightly. According to the finest writers in
the English language — Burke, Blair and others —
it will moreover exhibit to you the finest speci-
mens of the sublime, the elegant and the tender
in composition. The poetry of the Psalms,
Isaiah and other parts of the Bible is unsurpassed
in our language. But why need I say more?
You, my dear Sister, as well as 1, know it to be
a duty. I will merely add further, that the
reading of the Scriptures will naturally lead you
to the perusal of other books connected with the
subject — for explanation, etc. — both interesting
and useful. I should think it advisable to con-
verse with those more advanced than yourself
in the study of them on those parts which you
find it difficult to comprehend."

"Ne.xt, avoid novels — particularly such as are
of a light and trifling nature. They dissipate the
mind and give a distaste for what is substantial
and of more importance. One of Scott's migh.t
probably be read occasionally as a relaxation.
Read history and literary works, such as The
Spectator, The Rambler, etc. You would find
some of Shakespeare's plays are both instructive
and pleasing. Read good poetry — you would like
Milton. I believe there are several very excel-
lent works in the Library at Wheatland — both
historical and poetical. You will find some vol-
umes of letters there too, which would please
you ; Lyttleton's letters are elegantly written.

"There are few stibjects of more importance,
my dear Chrissy, at our age, than the improve-
ment of the mind. We shall never regret it, but
it will, on the contrary, prove an inexhaustible
source of pleasure.

"As you know, I am coming home in all prob-
ability next year and you must make interest for
me with some of those girls there and my old
acquaintances. Miss Philippa is not at Wheat-
land just now, I believe. Where is Mary? ITow

The battalion is now reorganized upon a basis
of two companies, instead of three as hitherto.
Capt. Fell of Co. "A," and Capt. Fitzgerald of
Co. "B," retain their commands. Capt. Gering,
formerly of Co. "C," is transferred to the staft'
with the rank of 1st Lieut. Battalion Adjutant.
It is thought that the new arrangement will add
to the appearance and increase the efficiency of
the battalion.

On Monday, March 17th, the last of the series
of University Extension lectures was delivered
by Mr. Amos W. Woodcock, S. J. C. '04, sec-
retary to U. S. Senator Jackson. Mr. Wood-
cock discussed the Permanent Court of Arbitra-
tion at the Hague, and the actual arbitration
accomplished there. He spoke without notes
and displayed a remarkable mastery of the de-
tails of his intricate subject. The course of lec-
tures proved a decided success and has afforded
general satisfaction. The other lecturers were
Mr. Hamilton Holt, Managing Editor of The
Independent, New York City ; Dr. Edwin D.
Mead, Director of the World Peace Foundation,
Boston, Mass. ; Major Carl Reichman of the
General Staft", U. S. A., and Dr. Hamlin, Pro-
fessor of Architecture, Columbia University.

St. John's closed the past basket-ball season
with an enviable record. Besides winning the
undisputed championship of Maryland, her quin-
tet earned a very high position in the South-
.\tlantic Championship. The Orange and Bla,-k
drew the long end in ten of the twelve contests,
being defeated only by the Navy and Catholic
University — and then only after stift' fights on
unfamiliar courts. St. John's scored a total of
495 points during the season, while the oppo-
nents totaled 238. Frank H. Thompson has been
elected captain for next year. Thompson is a
native of Annapolis, Md. He played right guard'

on the basket-ball team for the past season.
Besides this, he has proven a game plucky ath-
lete in other lines, having held down center field
in base-ball last year, and having won his S. ) C.
and star in football.

Capt. Noble is rounding out his base-ball ma-
terial satisfactorily. All the members of last
season's nine are out again this year, except
Heightman and Tolson, who will be greatly
missed on the pitching staff.

Alumni Notes : — Rev. Dr. Forest J. Pretty-
man, a member of the class of 1882, has been

Dr. F. F. Drew. Secretary of the Maryland
State Board of Dental Examiners, called on
Dean Heatwole early in the month of March and
requested the use of our college buildings and
equipment for the purpose of examining the
spring applicants for licenses to practice dentistry
in Maryland. Permission to use our plant was
granted and the dates set for the examinations
are May 29 and 30. ^

Through application forms received from the
State of North Carolina on the request of mem-
bers of the senior class, we learn that the Board
for that state will meet on May 26, 27, and 28.

Junior, also utilized the inauguration occasion
to pay us a visit. Dr. Molony graduated with the
class of 1889, and has since been in active prac-
tice in his native state.

Other graduates who called to see us since

Through a clipping from the New Britain
(Conn.) Daily we are advised of the death of
Dr. Frederick E. Monks, 1908. Dr. Monks was
a brother of Dr. Georgianna Monks, who grad-
uated in 1909 with first honors. They were for
several years associated together in practice in
New Britain. The brother, on account of ill
health, was oblicred to .-ibandon practice about
one year ago. His death, which took place on
March 6, was due to diabetes.

Charles L. Meade, D. D., pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church, addressed the stu-
dent body of the Dental Department, on March
12, his topic being "Honest Purpose." By his
direct and masterl}' presentation of the subject,
Dr. Meade made a strong impression on the
members of the several classes and all rejoice
in the privilege had of listening to this popular
speaker. Increasing interest is being manifested
in these monthly gatherings, as is being made
evident through expressions of approval on the
part of students and the earnest attention ac-
corded at such times.

At the instigation of Rev. K. G. Murray, pas-
tor of Fayette Street Methodist Church, who
made all the necessary arrangements and per-
sonally conducted the affair, students of the Den-
tal and other Departments of the University
made a pilgrimage to the ancient city of Annapo-
lis on Saturday afternoon, March 15. Special
cars were provided by the W. B. & A. Railway

garret, after which an elaborate luncheon was
served by Mrs. Goldsborough, wife of the Gov-
ernor. After thanking the host and hostess and
before leaving the mansion grovuxls, the college
yell was again given, supplemented this time
with "Long live the Governor." The State
House, Naval Academy and .St. John's College
were then visited in turn. At the Academy,
Captain Gibbons detailed Lieutenant Castleman
and six midshipmen to act as an escort through
the grounds and buildings.

The folowing sections were represented in the
party : — Cuba, the Philippines, Pennsylvania,
Maine, Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusett.s,
West Virginia, Connecticut and South Carolina.
Dr. Murray, through his untiring energy in plan-
ning and carrying out the scheme and his s]iecial
good cjualities of comradeship, has endeared him-
self anew to the students of the University.
Much credit is due him and words fail to ex-
press our appreciation of his thoughtfulness and
generotis attention.

A fine life-size photograph of the late Pro-
fessor James PL Harris, the gift of his daugh-
ter — Mrs. John B. Thomas, has been hung in
Harris Hall. It is by llgenfritz, of 319 North
Charles St. and is not only a great work of
art but a speaking reproduction of this genial
gentleman and unexcelled dental operator. His
many friends and pupils are cordialh' in\ited to
visit the hall and again look upon the features
of one whom all so loved and revered, here so
vividly brought back to their gaze.

Among those who attended the inauguration
in Washington were Dr. Valentine and Messrs.
O'Brien, Summerfield and Mitchell. ( The Asso-
ciate Editor of this Department acknowledges
his great indebtedness to Dean Heatwole for the

HISTORICAL NOTES,

Professor William Power, who filled Prof.
Elisha Bartlett's chair of practice in the Uni-
versity, B. being unavoidably absent in Europe
for health and study, delivered his introductory
lecture in October, 1845. There is a copy of

this in a volume of "Introductory Addresses,"
presented by Professor Frank Donaldson, in the
Johns Hopkins Hospital Library. "I feel a pride,"
he says, "to be selected to teach in these halls
where thirteen winters past I sat * * for the
first time, a young student, my heart beating with
bright hopes and filled with warm enthusiasm
while listening to the voice of the venerable Pot-
ter." Of Bartlett's "Philosophy of Medical Sci-
ence," published about a year before, he said it
was "decidedly the most remarkable original
work that has emanated from the medical pro-
fession of this country and the most satisfactory
exposition and clean-cut interpretation of the in-
ducti\e philosophy that we have met with any-
where."

/^ Professor Davidge extirpated the parotid gland
~ in Jan. or Feb., 1823, this being the first time
of its performance, three years earlier than Mc-
Clellan's, of Jefferson Medical College. The
operation is described in D.'s journal, July, 1823,
with a certificate to the facts from Frederick E.
Bectin, a pupil in D.'s office and alumnus of the
University of Maryland.

John Revere was of LIuguenot descent, son of
Colonel Paul Revere. He visited Edinburgh and
Paris. Took M. D. from the former in i8ii.
.Settled in Baltimore in 1816, devoting himself
to chemical experiments. "One of best and most
learned professors of medicine in the United
States. Incomplete work of 400 pages on medi-
cine was published by him, but the rest of it
could not be found after his death." — Trans. Am.
Med. Asso.. III.

Niles' Register, a Baltimore weekly, begun in
181 1, refers to the inconveniences of the college
of medicine during the session of 1811-12. "The
conspicuous merit of our graduates last spring,"
i. e., the spring of 181 1, shows that there were
graduates before May, 1812, and thus confirms
Dr. Potter's statement to that efi^ect (see Cor-
dell's Hist. Sketch. 1891).

BALTIMORE, MARCH, 1913.

We have received $50.00 from William L.
Marbury, LL.B., for the University Endowment
Fund and $4.00 from C. V. Matthews, D.D.S.,
for the Dental Department Fund.

New members of the General Aliiiiini Asso-

As our Associate Editor is too modest to note
it himself we may announce that at a preliminary
contest held March 14 in McDowell Hall, St.
John's College, to decide upon a representative
from the college to enter the contest at Baltimore
early in April for the prize for the best oration
upon the subject "Peace" or ''The General De-
sirability of Peace," Cadet Calvert Magruder
won. .. The other contestants were Cadets Edgar-

Fell, of the senior class, and O. M. Moore,
sophomore class. The judges were Admiral
Todd, U. S. N., and Professors Morris and
Gladden, of St. John's College.

We regret to see that Rei'. Dr. Thomas Grier
Koontz, the popular pastor of Westminster
("Poe Memorial") Church is to leave Balti-
more to become connected with a Presbyterian
Church in Wheeling, W. Va. He has announced
that he will leave on April 6th. Dr. Koontz has
been in charge of AVestminster for eight years,
and during that time has endeared himself to all
University of Maryland people by his cordial
interest and participation in our affairs. He has
taken part in all Academic Day Ceremonies,
which have always been held at Westminster
Church and really might almost be styled the
"University Chaplain." The honorary degree of
Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him at
the last annual commencement. Dr. Koontz will
carry with him the best wishes of us all for a
successful and prosperous career in the new field
of labor to which he has been called.

The following recommendation of the Execu-
tive Council was adopted by the Association of
American Medical Colleges, at its meeting held
at Chicago, Feb. 26, 1913: "That on and after
Jan. I, 1914, the Association will raise its pres-
ent entrance requirement to one year of college
work in physics, chemistry, biology and one mod-
ern language, of college grade, in consonance
with the action taken by the House of Delegates
of the American Medical Association at its meet-
ing in Atlantic City, June, 1912."

The fine new ward added to University Hos-
pital by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road is
completed and in operation under Dr. Page Ed-
munds. We had hoped to publish in this issue
a description of it written by Dr. Edmunds, but
owing to his absence from the city, this will have
to be deferred until our next issue.

Dean R. Dorsey Coale tells us that the merger
of the Schools also included the dental depart-
ment connected with the Baltimore Medical Col-
lege. It was decided that it should be taken in
on June I, 1914, or sooner if circumstances called

OLD MARYLAND.

for it. j\s the circumstances render it imperative
that there should be no delay, it will be consum-
mated, as in the case of the college, at the close
of the session. There are two full professors in
the Faculty of the School, Drs. J. W. Smith,
Dean and Professor of Dental Prosthesis, Crown
and Bridge Work, and E. E. Cruzen, Professor
of Operative Dentistry, Dental Technic, Ortho-
dontia and Oral Hygiene. The school is said to
have been well administered and to be in pros-
perous condition. It has 94 matriculates.

In presenting the portrait of Dr. John Buckler,
'ij, to the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty on
Jan. 21, Professor Chew spoke very feelingly.
He said that he was probably the last lingering
survivor of those of the medical profession who
enjoyed the benefits of Dr. Buckler's knowledge
and counsel in consultation, although the latter
had then already obtained the position of a patri-
arch, leader and guide. He was a man of force,
intellectual endowments and being always a stu-
dent, he kept himself in the forefront of the
science of his day. But besides this, he was a
typical instance of the family physician, b.icause
the qualities of his heart endeared him to his
patients and made him their friend and coun-
selor. ''As I look at this portrait," said Dr.
Chew, 'T see in the ample brow the indication
of his mental strength and activity. The ex-
pression of the face is very grave and even stern
to a degree and does not fully show the kindli-
ness and graciousness which belonged to the man.
The lack of this is unavoidable by a painter who
could only follow one fixed expression of a pho-
tograph and who never saw the play of feeling
which shone from the living face."

The agreement for union between the two
schools, previously made by the Faculty of
Physic of the University and the Faculty of the
Baltimore Medical College, was ratified by the
Board of Regents of the University at a meet-

ing held on Mar. 19th. It takes effect at the
close of the present session. All the details have
not yet been settled, but the twelve members of
the governing faculty of the College will all be
given places in the Board of Instruction. The
names of these gentlemen and the positions they
will occupy are as follows : Dr. Charles G. Hill,
Professor of Nervous and Mental Diseases ; Dr.

A. C. Pole, Professor of Descriptive Anatomy;
Dr. David Streett, Professor of Practice of
Medicine ; Dr. John D. Blake, Professor of Clini-
cal Surgery; Dr. Samuel K. Merrick, Professor
of Diseases of Nose and Throat; Dr. J. Frank
Crouch, Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology and
Otology ; Dr. J. M. H. Rowland, Professor of
Clinical Obstetrics ; Dr. Charles O'Donovan,
Professor of Clinical Pediatrics and Clinical
Medicine; Dr. G. Milton Linthicum, Professor
of Proctology; Dr. Ridgely B. Warfield, Pro-
fessor of Practice of Surgery; Dr. W. B. Perry,
Professor of Clinical Gynecology; Dr. Tilghman

B. Marden, Professor of Histology and Embry-
ology. Of these, Drs. Pole, Merrick, Crouch,
O'Donovan, Warfield and Marden are alumni of
the University. The College has 185 matricu-
lates.

The only property to be turned over by the
College is the equipment of the laboratory. There
is only one building belonging to the corporation
since the purchase of the Hospital by the Metho-
dists; that is the 3-story structure on the east
side of Howard St., occupied also by the Law
School. As this building is burdened with a
heavy mortgage, it was decided not to purchase
it, but it will continue the property of the Col-
lege corporation, which will remain in existence
as a chartered institution indefinitely for the pur-
pose of holding it.

A separate agreement has been made between
the Faculty of Physic and the owners of the
Maryland General Hospital, by which the clinical
advantages of that institution with its 175 beds
are secured for the University. This is regarded
as the most important feature of the merger and
was largely responsible for it.

"So, in eft'ect," as remarked by the Sun, "the
absorption of the College means simply the clos-
ing down of that institution and the addition of
the members of its Faculty to the teaching force
of the University."

• Aug. 24, 1812: "The building is already in
great forwardness." Potter has Theory and
Practice of Medicine, Da\idge has Institutes or
Principles of Physick, Davidge and Hall have
jointly Obstetrics, Diseases of Women and Chil-
dren. The course commences the ist Monday
in November and ends the last day of February.
This notice is signed by a committee of the Fac-
ulty (Cocke, Davidge and Gibson). This is added
under the above date: "Resolved, etc., That as
an expression of the estimation in which the col-
lege of medicine holds classical learning, a gold
medal be given annually for the best written the-
sis in Latin and all graduates in arts and science.?

tion. James Cocke, sec."

1813. The university building, begun May 7.
1812, was occupied the next session. The pro-
fessor of chemistry is now arranging his miner-
alogical collection.

1816. Previously all professors except chemi-
cal have occupied anatomical hall for lectures.
This year they were accommodated with a new
room deri\ed from an alteration in the library
in the front of the building. This added greatlv
to the comfort of the classes, as it was sufficiently
large, easily warmed, etc.

Dr. David Ramsay, the celebrated historian,
author of "History of the American Revolution,"
was shot to death by an insane man in Charles-
ton, .S. C, March i, 181 5. He was born in Cum-
berland Co., N. J., in 1748, and was graduated
in medicine at the Philadelphia Medical College,
taking M. B. in 1768. He commenced practice
at the head of Bohemia River, in Cecil Co.. Md..

removed to Charleston. \'ol. ix.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE.

The students, thru Old M.\RYL.^ND, wish to
extend to the Faculty their very sincere thanks
for the holiday given them March 4. They scarce
expected to have the day off. not that the Faculty
did not wish us to have it, but because the Col-
lege Association had made no such provision.
However, with no disrespect, by far the major-
ity of the students would have taken French
leave anyway, — the stolid-faced Republicans go-
ing as they said to see what a Democratic Presi-

dent looked like, for fear they'd never see an-
other. Bwana Tumbo's adherents are plenty at
the University, but to Bwana the world has said
"I 'ale." tho neither Bwana Tumbo nor his cym-
bal ringers can see it — even thru a microscope.
Teddy, we imagine, was on the Outlook that day
and his followers on the lookout, — but Wilson's

men my. my Geraldine, Valhalla on a busy

day was nothing compared to it.

Mr. Lutz, of the Junior Class, met with a very
unfortunate accident while crossing Lombard
St. from the hospital, recently. Mr. Lutz fell in
such a way that the olecranon process of his
right ulnar bone was snapped. Dr. Spruill at-
tended to the injury and best hopes are enter-
tained that nothing serious will develop, as a re-
sult of the accident.

Dr. Gordon Wilson is confined to his home
with an infected hand. In his absence. Dr. Lock-
ard is lecturing to the Juniors on Medicine.

Mr. Devine, of the Senior Class, has received
an appointment as medical interne in St. Joseph's
Hospital, Prov., R. I. — his interneship to com-
mence July I and last for one year. Mr. Devine
recently took the competitive examinations at
the above-mentioned hospital — and to use a stu-
dent colloquialism, "knocked their eyes out."
Four Harvard men besides representatives of the
other well-known Northern Colleges took the
examinations.

THE CERTIFICATION OF rH.VRM.VClSTS.

Dear Doctor —

Certain New York physicians and pharmacists have
appointed a joint committee which is to thoroughly in-
vestigate New York pharmacies and certify to the
worth of those that meet reasonaule modern require-
ments in stock, in equipment and in practice.

We believe our greatly enlarged facilities and up-to-
date equipment would amply entitle us to such certifi-
cation. The character of ivork we have been doing for
more than twenty years has, we hope, thoroughly and
firmly established us in your esteem and favorably
testifies as to our abilities and methods.

Mr. Norbert C. Nitsch, of the Senior Class,
has been appointed to assist Dr. Bloodgood at
St. Agnes' Hospital, during the coming year.

Prof. Hemmeter was warmly welcomed by the
students on his return to the University, after
■ an enforced absence of some four months. Dr.
Hemmeter is glad to get back to his "boys" and
he may feel assured that his "boys" are mighty
glad to have him back. To the Sophs and a
goodly number of students of the other classes
who came to greet him. Dr. Hemmeter, after an
exchange of courtesies, delivered a very instruc-
tive lecture on "The History of the Physiology
of Digestion."

One half of the Junior Class has finished the
course in Clinical Lab. and, judging from the
returns, all is well on this side of the Potomac.
Not a man flunked and at least six of them man-
aged to pluck down a century mark. Dr. Lock-
ard states, that never before has he read such a
collection of examination papers, which only goes
to show that the Jwniors are making some noise.

Mr. Richard W. Morton, formerly of the class
of '14, dropped around to pay his former class-
mates a flying visit, after witnessing the Inaugu-
ration Ceremonies. "Dick," as he is familiarly
known, is now located in Winston-Salem, N. C,
and holds a very responsible position in one of
the largest business houses there.

Death has called away from the Sophomores
one of their classmates, — Mr. James B. Radlow,
of N. Y. — who died at the University Hospital
during the past week of peritonitis, after inef-
fectual efl:'orts on the part of Dr. Shipley, to keep
burning the sputtering spark of life. But Death
was the stronger, another victim it claimed, this
time in the person of a young man whose life
had just begun, one admired and respected by
all. When sable-robed Death mantles under her
shroud one of those we have learned to love,
then it is, for the first time maybe, that the chains
of fettered memory are unloosed — and there
comes before our eyes the well-known face of
him, who is no more of this world a part. From
out of the past, in slow procession, there pass for

review the little actions of that one and perhaps
we smile a sweet yet sad, sad smile, as the Magi-
cian Death conjures his pictures — a smile de-
noting pleasant associations, little somethings
that lie hidden in our hearts and which the heart
that knows only can understand. Maybe we
sigh that perhaps we have caused that one need-
less pain, that our acts of omission helped to
roughen his already roughened way. The pessi-
mistic world, with eyes bandaged to tears and
heart closed to pity, holds up a deriding finger
and from a soul enured to tender words, pro-
claims that 'twas ever so — to praise a man when
his ears are deaf to our belated words of sym.-
pathy and cold in death he is no more. Yet the
heart that is full hears not and the hearts of the
Sophomores for they have lost a friend — a class-
mate and highest of all that can be said, a man.
He is gone from our view, but in remembrance,
when memory in her sweet enchanted hour rules
supreme, then again will he live. At times we'll
say a prayer, that he who with life yet to live,
found death in life, may be better now; that on
that other unknown, mystic shore to which we
all must go, he may have found life in death.

Dr. John C. Hemmeter has extended to Dr.
Friedman, who recently startled the world by his
claim of having discovered a cure for Tubercu-
losis and who is at the present time in New
York demonstrating his purported cure — an invi-
tation to visit the University, for the purpose of
making experiments. Whether or not Dr. Fried-
man will accept is a matter of conjecture, but we
sincerely hope that he will, that we may profit
thereby. The medical profession all over the
world is putting every obstacle in the way of this
learned man — they call him mercenary, non-
ethical and a host of other unbecoming epithets.
To be great is to be misunderstood by those who,
thru jealousy, cynicism or what not, do not want
to understand. Pythagoras, Socrates, Coperni-
cus, Galileo. Newton, Darwin and others of the
truly great, had to face Golgotha and now it's
Dr. Friedman's turn. If his cure is true, time
will tell but in the meantime, let us aid him if
we can.

ber of visiting physicians, besides many of the
regular hospital staff, were present. The subject
of Dr. Hopkinson's lecture was "Diseases of the
Mouth and Digestive Disturbances."

Mr. Stapleton, of the Junior Class, employs
himself during the summer months, by drawing
cartoons for one of the New Jersey Daily Papers.
He possesses great skill in this line of work and
his drawings are always original and to the point.
Mr. Stapleton has contributed two cartoons for
the Terra Marine.

Messrs. Tullidge, Murphy and McDaniel, of
the Senior Class, have taken the Civil Service
Examinations for the Indian Service and will be
eligible for appointments at the end of the col-
lege year. Messrs. Bean, Gould and Pratt, of
the same class, having passed successful competi-
tive examinations at Bayview Hospital, held early
in February, were offered appointments on the
Surgical, Tubercular and Neurological Depart-
ments of that Hospital.

Messrs. Newcomer, Pratt and Hays, Senior
Class, recently took the examinations for ap-
pointments at the Union Protestant Infirmary.

The final examinations for the Seniors com-
mence the week of April i.

The theatre party and benefit held by the Ath-
letic Alumni Association of the University, on
March 26, at the Academy, was well attended by
both students and members of the Faculty, their
wives and friends. The offering was Christie
McDonald, star of "The Spring Maid," and a
number of other light operas, in Victor Herbert's
latest offering, "Sweethearts."

\\'e have heard in figurative language of things
dying in their birth and that expression quite
adequately fits the present state of atheltics at
the University. Last year we heard of won-
drous things to be done for athletics by the Fac-
ulty and we oped our weary eyes, inflated our
lungs and hurrahed. But now — castle walls have
fallen, hope lies buried, and athletics like a weep-

ing willow has bowed itself to earth, cried a
mournful, heartful sigh and died — a martyr and
perhaps at the present writing it is mourning on
its passage across the Styx, while optimistic
Charon, thinking of the coming examinations by
Euscalapius on the other side of the stream,
says — "Go light with the tears kiddo — do you
want to have a flood"?

But where's the blame — why the demise of
poor Athletics ? Students perhaps have a share
in it, yet the students have always held some mis-
givings relative to the sincerity of the Faculty's
stand of a year ago. They may be wrong, yet
you will have to explain to them why it is that
some of the Professors seem so opposed to those
men who take an active part in the few games
that are played — at least such an impression is
firmly fixed in their minds and if they do partici-
pate in any of the games they liken it to a suicide
on their part since they honestly believe that, by
doing such, the Professors opposed to athletics
will flunk them. The view may be extreme but
it exists just the same.

This year we are to have no baseball team — •
at least none authorized to bear the University's
name. In the school there is plenty of good
material — men who have played on some of the
biggest college nines in the country, but athletics
are discountenanced and these men as far as
baseball is concerned might as well be in Kalama-
zoo. To our minds, nothing is to be gained but
much lost by the failure of the Faculty to give
the teams representing the University the ade-
quate support financially and otherwise that they
should have. What makes students pack Flar-
vard, Yale or any of the other well-known Uni-
versities ? Surely education to a great extent,
but it is mainly the achievements of their foot-
ball or baseball team and to whichever college
that makes the best showing the students flock.
They feel proud in going to such a school, they
advertise it unconsciously and the school is
boomed.

The adjunct Faculty has striven hard to put

of the whole aff'air. They claim that the students

failed to practice and as is the way of the world,
kept the suits which should have been returned.
I'he students are to blame — we acknowledge it,
but why not give us an association that is an
association so that interest must be taken ? You'll
never get men to buy tickets for an association
unless you give them something in return and
the men who separated themselves from the dol-
lodocci in the past by buying association tickets
were philanthropists more or less, for in return
they were given the golden opportunity of seeing
one or two games played in Baltimore.

Why athletics are not encouraged and sup-
ported more is probably known only to the Fac-
ulty. They may think like the vitriolic Hubbard,
of East Aurora — "that" football (and baseball)
occupies the same relation to education that a
bullfight does to farming." Yet we'll let the jibe
slip by and hurl invectives from the Essay on
Silence. Athletics to education is an integral
part — one alone makes a physical man, the other
alone a person suffering from ankylosis of the
cerebrum as far as seeing the bright side of life
is concerned. Give the former a hypo of educa-
tion and the latter a 606 injection of athletics and
you have a man — a healthy man in mind and
body. And what are we to have — the hypo or
the injection? Quick Doc — the injection for
mine. And while I'm waiting for it, I'm going
out to buy some flowers and place them with a
tear on poor athletics' grave, who died at the
University of Maryland during the past year of
cruel neglect — and on whose retina, — as is fixed
on the retina of every dying person that image
which it last sees — is fixed the picture of those
who killed it in cold blood — the students and the
Faculty.

RECEPTION TO PROVOST THOMAS FELL,
BY THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIA-
TION.

A reception was tendered to our new Provost
at the Hotel Rennert, Baltimore, on the evening
of March 27th by the General Alumni Associa-
tion. The occasion was one of warm self-con-
gratulation by the Alumni and of the most cor-
dial greetings to the new head of the University.
The keynote was one of jubilation over the new
era inaugurated in the University and of bright
anticipations of blessings to come as the result
of it.

The Faculty of the Baltimore Medical College
were present by invitation and were warmly wel-
comed. By formal vote the graduates of the
College were recognized as alumni of the Uni-
versity arid declared eligible fo' membership in
the Association.

Mr. James W. Bowers, President of the Asso-
ciation, presided, and acted as taastmaster. The

OLD MARYLAND.

speakers were Dr. Samuel K. Merrick, repre-
esnting the Faculty of the Baltimore Medical
College ; Dr. John C. Hemmeter, representing the
Department of Medicine; Judge Walter L Daw-
kins, of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore, repre-
senting St. John's College; Mr. Thomas G.
Mackenzie, representing the Department of Law;
Dr. B. Merrill Hopkinson, representing the De-
partment of Dentistry, and Dr. Henry P. Hyn-
son, representing the Department of Pharmacy.
Nearly one hundred persons were present and a
fine dinner was served.

Through the courtesy of the Provost we are
able to gi\-e the following outline of his remarks :

"I am extremely gratified by this expression of
good feeling on the part of the Alumni of the
University of Maryland. It gives me great en-
couragement in carrying out the task which lies
before me.

"In your cordial welcome I see the manifesta-
tion of a marked interest in the welfare of the
University.

"For such a purpose a meeting like this is full
of potentialities. Here you are, men of all politi-
cal shades of thought, men representative of
every professional calling, men capable of effect-
ing much.

"The difikulty in the past has been to produce
a united concentrated effort on the part of the
alumni. There has been too much disposition to
promise, and too little of the willingness to act.

"First, we should endeavor to make the best of
the resources we have, instead of lamenting the
lack of what is not available.

"Second, each alumnus should be inspired with
a sense of responsibility for the welfare and
progress of the University.

"You alumni can bring to our aid invaluable
suggestions from your vantage ground of expe-
rience.

"As there are none who have greater pride in
the University, so there are none to whom the
University should be able to turn with greater
assurance of help.

"The Alumni are those to whom we look espe-
cially for support in the community. The Uni-
versity must have living friends. The gifts of
the past exhaust themselves. The bounties of
the present should run in a perpetual stream. We
must have endowment for the Medical School
and also for all the Schools of the University.

"When I was in New York recently endeavor-
ing to promote an Endowment Fund for St.
John's College an example of what might be
done by persevering effort was related to me.

"Two alumni of a not very large college de-
termined to set to work to raise an endowment
for their college. They recognized the fact that
they owed their present position to the education
given them there, and that without it their prob-
able career would have been far different.

"Within two years they had secured $5,000.00,
and during the third year they obtained a large
donation from a wealthy man toward building a
new Laboratory. Very shortly afterwards this
same gentleman having become interested in the
college by their efforts presented the sum of
$100,000.00 for endowment.

"There is sometimes an idea prevalent among
• university men that the university career is
simply a three or four year contract whereby, in
consideration of a certain sum of money, the
university is to supply him with a certain amount
of knowledge, and to present him with a proper
certificate, to notify the world that he has had it.

"The transaction is completed, the doctor or
lawyer regards the obligation on both sides at
an end.

"Now this is a fallacy. No man squares his
account with his Alma Mater by the payment of
his last term bill. He still owes her more than
Desdemona owed father and lover both, and,
among the most important and simplest of these
duties is to subscribe for, read, and encourage in
every possible way the publications giving infor-
mation of the esoteric life of the University.

"We look, therefore, to you alumni to add to
the fair fame of this Uni\ersity, to which you
belong. She looks to you, the living Maryland, to
build upon the foundation so nobly laid in the
past."

REMARKS OF THOMAS G. MACKENZIE,
LL.B., AT THE RECEPTION OF PROVOST
THOMAS FELL BY THE GENERAL
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, MARCH 27, 1913.

When back in the early days of the last cen-
tury the University of Maryland was incorpo-
rated with its four departments, namely: Medi-
cine, Divinity, Law, Arts and Science, the
founders of such an institution builded better
than they knew, and it has ever since been the
pride of the State of Maryland that those taking
the degrees of this institution have passed out
into the active service of their respective pro-
fessions, to add luster upon their Alma-Mater,
and bring renown and glory to the State. But
no less entitled to a share in that glory, is that
time honored Institution of Learning at Annapo-
lis, which before the University was ushered into
life had already begun its work among the peo-
ple. I refer, of course to St. John's College, now
a most important branch of the University of
Maryland, and the distinguished head of which
College is now the Provost of the University,
and the guest of the Alumni Association this
evening.

From St. John's College have gone into the
law more men than have been furnished by any
other institution of its kind in the State. When
we look at its list of graduates, we find among
them the names of men, who have helped to
make the history of Maryland what it is, who
have also taken a prominent part in the National
affairs, and one of whom, a lawyer and a poet,
gave to this Country its National anthem. We
find among the list of names Francis Scott Key,
John Johnson, the Chancellor, David Hoffman,
William Kilty, Reverdy Johnson, Thomas S.

Alexander, Theodoric Bland, and William H.
Tuck, and on the bench of our Court of Appeals,
and throughout our State, and within the limits
of our own City, are numerous members of the
judiciary, whose names are enrolled among the
alumni of St. John's. It is, therefore, the duty
of the Law to feel its obligation to St. John's
College and the University of Maryland.

My invitation stated that the object of this
occasion was to get acquainted with Dr. Fell.
How much more modest it would have been to
have designated it an occasion for Dr. Fell to
scan us over and learn what he can depend upon
from us to show our interest in the University
of Maryland. For not one of us but knows of
Dr. Fell and the grand work he has been doing
in the State of Maryland. This occasion should
rather be one upon which the Alumni Association
can express in some definite form its congratula-
tions to the University in having secured the co-
operation of Dr. Fell in the great work that still
lies before it.

And it should also be an occasion when the
members of the Alumni Association can con-
gratulate themselves that the work which rests
upon them and which they were organized to do
will now have the assistance of so able, so sin-
cere and so loyal a friend and fellow laborer.

Long after the University of Maryland had
become distinguished as an institution which was
sending out from its halls men, who by their
skill and brains were revolutionizing the methods
of alleviating pain, making the blind to see, the
deaf to hear, and the lame to walk, and the
strong arm of the law to become stronger, and
the severities of justice to be softened by the
qualities of mercy through the wisdom dispensed
within its gates, there was born a new University
with the traditional silver spoon in its mouth.

rawing towards her the rich minds of our
Nation until today she stands a world famed in-
stitution. Not half a century old, she enjoys
in some branches, perhaps, a greater name than
some whose foundations were back in the dark
ages, where it is difficult if not impossible, to
dissociate history from tradition. Endowment
iipon endowment has poured into her coffers,
and the State has added appropriations that she
may carry on her miraculous work, till today she
sets the pace for the world to follow. From
time to time of late the rumor has been spread
that a man, who has sat in the seat of the mighty,
and whose reputation as a judge is known
throughout the English speaking world, is to be
called to occupy the chair of her chief Executive
and to establish a new department of Jurisprud-
ence.

And it is with such strength we must compete,
holding our own as in the days that have passed,
when such men as N. R. Smith, Miltenberger,
Chisolm, Donaldson and Johnson stood for the
department of medicine, and AVallis, Carter, Mar-
shall, Poe, Venable and Phelps stood for the law.
With the reputation of the University of Mary-
land, and the strength of our sister institution in
rnind, the regents had little time for experiment
and none for mistake, in appointing a man to
hold us in the future to the same degree of emi-
nence as that which we have enjoyed in the past.

every energy, and strain every muscle, in the race
v;e have set before us, and how best to win out,
handicapped by insufficient means, unendowed, in
need of better buildings and more modern equip-
ment, is the burning question of the hour. Our
new Provost has no easy task.

Speaking of our endowment I noticed a short
while ago in the College paper. Old Maryland,
that a prominent member of the faculty had in-
sured his life and so arranged it that the pro-
ceeds therefrom could go towards an endowment
fund for the University. Someone seemed to
think that the prospect of the money in the
future was rather a disappointing way of pro-
viding for the present needs. But the fact that
the institution has in hand such a donation re-
minded me much of an old preacher in New
York, about whom the story is told that on every
Saturday night he went to a particular member
of his parish and borrowed $5.00. On. the fol-
lowing Monday morning the very identical $5.00
was returned. At last the member of the church
grew fretful and irritable because he could not
unfathom the purpose of this application for a
loan, and determined to ask the preacher why
it was that he always returned the identical note.
The preacher replied, "You know that on Satur-
day night my funds are always consumed in the
market basket and other household expenses, and
you know with what vehemence I preach to my
congregation to be liberal in the contributions,
and how I have gone for them at times rather
savagely, and how I have succeeded in getting
from them for the use of the church large sums
of money, well," said the preacher, "I have never
felt that I can preach such a sermon unless I
have in my pocket some real money that I could
place my hand on once in a while." The gentle-
man loaned him the $5.00, and it was returned.
The next Saturday night he came back and re-
quested a loan of $10.00 and explained that the
increase in the amount of his request was be-
cause he had heard that a noted financier, who ,
was known to be very close fisted, was going tol
attend his church the following day and he
wanted to try a $10.00 bill sermon on him. Il
think that the Committee striving for endow-|
ment for the University of Maryland is some-j

know that the endowment fund holds an insur-
ance contract for real money. I believe the
example set is a good one and if every member
of the Alumni Association could be induced to
insure his life in such a way that the proceeds
from some particular policy should go to the
University, it is quite sure that he would not live
to see the result of his particular work but those
to come after him would, no doubt, reap the
benefit of his sacrifice.

Our pride in the wellfare of the University,
our love for old St. John's, which has done so
much in the past and is doing so much now to
strengthen the sinews of the University, should
raise in the heart of each alunmus, no matter
what department has honored him by its degree,
a stern determination to do his part whether it
be large or small in securing the foundations of
his Alma-Mater, so that hereafter no matter
what adverse circumstances may prevail, the
members of the Alumni Association may sing,

REMARKS OF PROFESSOR HENRY P.
HYNSON, PHAS. B., AT THE RECEPTION
OF THE PROVOST, MARCH 27,

After a few pleasantries with the toastmaster.
Dr. Hynson spoke, in part, as follows :

"I understand the specific duty that I have
been called upon to lierform, Mr. Provost; it is
to extend the cordial greetings, the felicitations
and good wishes of the Department of Pharmacy.
I am very proud to present this Department to
vou and beg for it your honorable consideration.

"The Department of Pharmacy was organized
in 1841. It had its inception in the University of
Maryland. For a time, it strayed away from the
parent body, but, like our brothers of the Balti-
more Medical College, whom we are so happy to
have with us to-night, it finally returned to the
parental roof and found there a cordial welcome
and a helpful reunion. The Department of Phar-
macy, Mr. Provost, is a creditable part of the
University over which you have been called to
preside. It has alumni numbering about twelve

hundred. Many of these are scattered ove5,the
length and breadth of this land of ours, filling
and holding positions of honor and trust. They
haA-e ever been conspicuous and helpful in na-
tional pharmaceutical affairs. I am happy in
the knowledge that it was the first alumnus of
this department who read the first paper before
the yVmerican Pharmaceutical Association, the
greatest pharmaceutical body on this globe. It
was an alumnus of this department and a rherfl-
ber of our faculty who held the executive office
of that body for twenty of its most active years
and the impress of his strong editorial, pen is
plainly evidenced in the most creditable volumes
of its proceedings during that time.

"The faculty of the department which I repre-
sent, deducting one member, is a particularly
strong one. Every member, save one, is an
alumnus of our school and every member, save
one, has written one or more of the text books
used in that department. More than this, T be-
lieve I can safely say that these are the most
creditable pharmaceutical text books that have
been written and are more large-lyused in schools,
where members of their own faculties have not
written such books, than any others.- We are
proud of the abilities and the achievements of its
members. . ;

"The department is without encumbranC-e ; is
full}^ able and does meet all its obligations -and
has never, during all its life, had a single cerit
from either City or State.

"I can not congratulate you upon the honors
of your office, because you enjoy greater honors;
I can not congratulate you upon the emoluments
of your office, for they are far too small, but I
can most heartily and sincerely congratulate you
upon the splendid and far-reaching opportunities
that have come to you, through your election -as
provost of the University of Maryland;- oppor-
tunities to extend its usefulness as a part of the
educational system of the State whose name it
bears. Maryland expends, annually, more than
two millions and, perhaps, three millions of dol-

lars for the education of her youth and it is fit
and proper that its nominal university should
become the cap-stone of its improved and better
organized educational system; these are great
and most promising possibilities and, to my mind,
this is the peculiar and particular time to press
their furtherance.

"I bring you in fullness and in sincerity the
good will — the loyalty — the support of the De-
partment of Pharmacy and wish you God speed
in all your undertakings."

MEMORIAL WARD IN MEMORY OF DR.
SUMMERFIELD B. BOND, CHIEF MEDI-
CAL EXAMINER THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO RAILROAD. DIED DEC. 21, 1911.

The Faculty of Physic of the University of
Maryland, cooperating with the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company, have caused to be con-
structed at the University Hospital, corner of
Lombard & Greene Streets, Baltimore, Mary-
land, a ward for the reception of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company's patients, and for
other patients of a like character when the ward
is not entirely occupied by the Railroad Com-
pany's people, in memory of Dr. Summerfie'd
B. Bond who was our Chief Medical Examiner
for many years. He was a graduate of the
University of Maryland and formerly occupied
the chair of Clinical Professor of Genito-Urinary
diseases. Dr. Bond died at his home, No. 1023
Cathedral Street, on December 21st, 191 1, at th3
age of 51 years.

Dr. Bond had many traits of character which
endeared him very much to the people with whom
he came in contact. He was optimistic to a
marked degree, so much so that those of us who
were fortunate enough to know him well of:
times wondered if the sun really was always
shining for him as it seemed to be even under ad-
verse conditions ; and those of us who were for-

tunate enough to know him well can truly say
he was the most unselfish individual that we
have ever known. In his contact with his fellow-
practitioners it was characteristic of him to al-
ways belittle his own efforts and to praise the
other fellow ; this was particularly so with the
young men, the students, many times sacrificing
his own financial prosperity so that he might aid
a colleague, and this Memorial, marked as it is
with a bronze tablet on which are inscribed the
words as the head of this article, is a loving
tribute to the graciousness and unselfishness of
Summerfield B. Bond.

The Bond Memorial Ward now occupies the
position formerly occupied by Medical Ward
"H" ; it is situated in the Greene Street wing of
the Hospital, taking in the entire second floor.
The ward has been entirely reconstructed. The
old ventilating shaft formerly in the middle of
the ward has been removed giving an unob-
structed view of the entire length of the room.
A great deal of thought was given to the con-
struction of the floor and we have what we
think is the ideal floor for a ward of this kind.
It is entirely fire proof, vermin proof, of a beau-
tiful brick color and absolutely sanitary. The
angles formed by the junction of the side walls
and the floor have been coved so that there can
be no collection of dirt in the corners. Behind
this coving have been placed electric outlets be-
tween each pair of beds for the convenience of
examining patients at night, for the attachment
of electric heating apparatus and diagnostic in-
struments. We also have outlets for gas so that
continuous hot applications may be made for each
individual bed.

At the southern extremity of the ward we
have a room large enough to hold two surgical
beds for the reception of seriously ill patients, or
patients recovering from anaesthesia, or for the
reception of any patients that it is necessary to
remove from the ward for various reasons. This
room is lighted by two windows which are
guarded by steel grill work. Opposite to this
we have a modern bath-room with the most up-
to-date and sanitary fixtures. At the north end
of the ward on the street side we have a diet
kitchen, also fitted with up-to-date sanitary fix-
tures; opposite to this, at the same end of the

OLD MARYLAND.

ward, we have a nurses' office where the supplies
and the patients' clothing are kept.

On the porch there has been constructed a
modern operating room on a small scale ; this
room connects both with the ward and the eleva-
tors, so that patients may be brought directly
into the room from the elevator. Adjoining this
there is a sun parlor, 42 feet in length, enclosed
in glass, steam heated, for the use of convalescing
patients. Beyond this we have an open porch.

The entire ward, together with the rooms, sun
parlor, etc., have been given four coats of the
best grade enamel paint that could be purchased,
the color scheme of which consists of a dark
grey green base with a lighter grey green side
wall and a cream ceiling; this with the color of
the floor, a deep brick red, makes an extremely
attractive room. The lighting is by numerous
plain finished round globes close up to the ceil-
ing, there being a sufficient number to brilliantly
illuminate the ward at night. The lighting of
the various rooms is all on different circuits so
they can be controlled by a switch box in the
hall.

This ward has been furnished throughout with
the very latest type of hospital furniture, con-
sisting of 22 beds complete, each bed being fitted
with the modern vermin proof springs with large
rubber tire wheels and so arranged that the head
or foot of the bed may be raised or lowered
whenever desired. We also have four surgical
beds with the Fowler spring attachment. There
are 22 side tables, i dozen back rests, 8 rubber
tired steel wheel, divided leg, rolling chairs, 2 irri-
gator stands, 4 large bed screens, 2 rubber tired
clothes hampers, a ward surgical dressing car-
riage, a plate glass and enamel medicine case
and a most modern portable electric apparatus.

In the operating room we have a modern sani-
tary lavatory with foot controls for the hot and
cold water and water pressure sterilizer with
filtering apparatus, an instrument sterilizer, an
instrument dressing cabinet, a modern operating
table and a formaldehyde sterilizer for those
instruments that are destroyed by boiling. This
room is intended to take care of emergency sur-
gical cases and has been especially fitted out with
all the modern urological diagnostic instruments
of precision. This room can be made totally dark

so that it can be conveniently used as a cystopic
and endoscopic examination room ; an electric
control is placed within convenient reach and the
formaldehyde sterilizer keeps the instruments in
readiness for use at all times.

The Alumni and all our friends are cordially
invited to visit the Ward, especially the Urologi-
cal Room, whenever at the Hospital and they may
be assured of a welcome at all times.

HISTORICAL NOTES.

On Saturday, Dec. 2, 1893, fire broke out in
the Heiser Building, 32 and 34 S. Paca St., a
few minutes before 5 P. M. In three hours the
flames wrought damage of over $360,000, burn-
ing out the heart of the block bounded by Paca,
German, Greene and Lombard Sts. The Heiser
Building was a large 6-story double warehouse
erected in 1886 at a cost of $100,000. The chem-
ical and physiological laboratory of the Univer-
sity, in rear of the Heiser Building, was totally
destroyed. It contained the laboratories and dis-
secting room of the University and had just been
erected. Most of the apparatus was saved by the
students, who also removed the library and fur-
niture from the Law Building. In the dissecting
room on the upper floor there were eleven bodies,
including that of Uncle Perry, former Janitor of
the room, who had died some weeks before. This
individual had attained considerable notoriety
through his implication in the murder of old
Emily Brown (the famous "Burking" case). The
main building of the University was slightly dam-
aged. Lectures were continued in the clinical
amphitheatre at the Hospital. Baltimore Medical
College offered its rooms but they were declined
as the necessary accommodations could be ob-
tained at home. Laboratory work was conducted
in the Dental Building. Rebuilding was not be-
gun till Spring.

I visited Dr. George G. Farnandis, '52, at his
city residence, 1721 Md. Ave., Balto., in January,
1900. He was a tall, large, portly, handsome old

man, of 71, though not looking so old, with a
large, well-shaped head and lofty forehead, with
gray mustache and whiskers. His presence was
commanding and he must have been very hand-
some in early life. He seemed unwilling to give
details of his life and preferred that no notice
of it should go into the Medical Annals. He
would not tell his age. He dwelt particularly on
his Confederate Army experience and his trou-
bles at the University. He held the Demonstra-
torship of Anatomy for a brief time in 1861 and
was at the same time Physician to the Baltimore
City and County Almshouse, where he used tti
deliver lectures to the students. Professor Ham-
mond knew little of anatomy, saying he was a
physiologist, as if one could teach that and not
know anatomy also. Had very little opinion of
him as man, surgeon or teacher. Hammond took
advantage of the presence in the hospital of a
poor fellow whose toes had sloughed off in con-
sequence of frostbite but whose feet had healed
up well. He professed to perform Chopart's
amputation on him, but sawed away with knife,
unable to strike the joint in front of the astrag-
alus and wound' up by bending and breaking the
bone off. The end of the foot was brought to
Farnandis by one of the students and the former
criticised the operation and refused to give up
the specimen. Hammond brought the matter be-
fore the Faculty. Warren wanted Parnandis
summoned and a full discussion held. Smith and
Chew were friendly to F. and wanted him to
withhold his resignation. The others said either
Hammond or Farnandis must go. Miltenberger
wrote to F. saying the Faculty would receive his
resignation if again offered, which was done.
During the Civil War, F. was surgeon in the
C. S. A., first on Kirby Smith's staff, later on
the Medical Examining Board, examining all the
surgeons appointed in the Trans-Mississippi De-
partment. He was born in Baltimore, but his
mother removed to the family seat in Harford
Co., where she died. Dr. F. died in Balto. Apr.

4, 1909, aged 80.

"When I came to Baltimore in 1827, many of d
the leading practitioners were the disciples of tI
Rush. Inflammation was regarded as the es-
sence of all disease and the lancet the great rem-
edy. It occurred to me to see much of the prac-
tice which was founded on these principles. I
have seen bleeding freely practiced in pulmonary
consumption, in typhus and in typhoid fever. I
have seen anemia, characterized as it often is
by occasional violent reaction in the heart and
arteries, treated by the lancet, which was per-
haps the very agent that had caused the disease.
All this has happily passed away but it is greatly
to be lamented that theorists, in receding from
one extreme, cannot stop at the happy medium
but must necessarily oscillate into the opposite
absurdity. Have we not in our time heard the
lancet universally condemned as a remedial agent
and calomel and tartar emetic stigmatized as
poison and do they not contend for treatment
directly the opposite of that, the success of
which was boasted of by the theorists of 50 years
ago ?" N. R. Smith, Memoir of Dr. J. H. 0' Don-
ovan, 1870. (Christopher Johnston, a colleague
of Smith, condemned bloodletting in toto. Speak-
ing of it to his class, he said, "you come here,
gentlemen, to learn how to save life, not to de-
stroy it").

In an oral communication in 1899, the late
Dr. George J. Preston said that the professors
at the College of Physicians and Surgeons had
gotten no salary for four years. It took 200
students to meet the expenses of the College. He
agreed with me that no college could maintain
itself permanently without endowment. He had
proposed two years before that the schools should
unite and each do separate work, one as a patho-
logical laboratory, another as an anatomical
school, etc. In this he had in view the union of
the University of Maryland, the College of Phy-
sicians and Surgeons and the Baltimore Medical
College. The College of Physicians and Sur-
geons had strictly abided by the rules of the
Association of American Medical Colleges.

In the Md Med. and Snrcj. Jl, Oct. 1839, p.
no, the Editors urge the establishment of a
dental school or chairs in medical schools de-
voted to that branch. Haydeh and Harris were
at this time working in that direction. ^

The late Dr. Thomas Fridge Murdoch, '50,
was on the side of the North in the Civil War
and profited much by that fact. The United
States authorities were at that time discussing
taking possession of the Baltimore Lifirmary
(now "University Hospital") and running it as a
government hospital. They wanted Murdoch to
assume charge of it but he discouraged the proj-
ect and it was abandoned. The Professors at the
University were all southern sympathizers. In
early life he was a member of a social medical
club of ten, of which Christopher Johnston was
President and Frank Donaldson, James A. Steu-
art, Charles O'Donovan, Samuel C. Chew, W. C.
Van Bibber, Riggin Buckler, John Mackenzie and
Ferd. E. Chatard were members. They met and
had supper at each others' houses every two
weeks. It kept up for two or three years (there
is a picture of this club at the Library. Donald-
son referred to it in the notes from his diary pub-
lished in Old Maryland some months ago).
Later about 1875 a large social club was founded
by Chisolm and continued for 25 or more years.

February 6, 1831, to his Sister Christine: "As
I have just finished reading the Vicar of Wake-
field, and it wants some half hour 'till Reveille,
I cannot better devote the time than to writing
you a little note. How cold it has been of late.
Our ears and noses are almost cut off by the wind
in crossing the plain here. You are, no doubt,
enjoying your sleigh parties with great zest. I
ought to congratulate you on the fine snow but
it has totally interrupted our skating. We al-
ways have plenty of, occupation, and excellent,
too. I suppose you are busy reading; what
books? I am afraid you let the long roll of ex-
cellent advice in my last go for nothing, which
maybe you think it was worth. You must not
do what I told you in the latter part sure enough.
I was joking, you know. So Mary did not
think proper to send a word or line by your last.
Very well ; I hope she is well. Tell that little

renegade Kit" (his younger sister) "that I
never mean to write to her again."

".loth. I take up my pen without anything
to say and merely to conclude what I was inter-
rupted in the other morning. The weather has
moderated very much. Reminded by that and
the lengthening of the days, we begin to hail with
delight the approach of spring — the last of my
cadetship. Anxious as I have been at times to
get off, there is something truly melancholy in
that reflection. We almost forget the passage of
time till reminded of it by events and, when thus
reminded, the first perception of it is attended
with as much surprise as if it were a thing not to
have been counted upon. It is, too, ever attended
by melancholy feelings. There is at times a
sensation of loneliness and desertion when we
think of former periods when we were sur-
rounded by friends and all the pleasure of child-
hood. It is not the conviction that we might
have devoted our time more profitably, nor" the
regret that we have not done so, nor the remem-
brance that we have lost some dear friends in
the interval, that produces this mournful train of
thought. But it is the feeling that we are every
day moving further from those green sunny
days of childhood, which as time has erased
the recollection of their pains, the imagination is
ever ready to depict brightly beaming with pleas-
ure, and that in exchange for them we are en-
tering upon a world which presents rather a
rough exterior. Adieu, with my best love to
the family. I suppose you are all expecting the
great eclipse on Saturday. Most affectionately,
my dear C, your brother. P. S. — This sheet
is upon the eve of departure. I unfold it to add
one word to Mary H., tho' she does not deserve
a syllable. Why did she not say something in
your letter last time? Was she afraid that her
pen would betray that she had forgotten our
old play days? Those days when we were as
brother and sister and ceremony and formality
and such trash were not of our vocabulary. No,
such, I know, is not the case. I love her too

THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

BALTIMORE, APRIL, 1913.

A prominent and distinguished member of
the Medical Factilty remarked recently, that we,
of this University, are too much disposed to rely
upon its past, to be content with what it has done,
and not to worry with what it is doing and is
going to do. The present and the future are far
more important than the past and no institution
can rely upon its past, however gloriotis. It must
be ever striving to better itself, ever looking
ahead to meet new needs There is a keen strug-
gle going on — are we fully alive to it and are
we entering into it with all our strength? Are
we fully meeting the demands of the times and
doing our very best? Are we as thorough as we
should be? Are we doing all we can to perfect
the training of our students and enable them
to reach the head in their profession? Is there
anything lacking which may give them occasion
to reproach us hereafter for neglect? These are

vital questions which demand our most constant
and most earnest consideration.

Then the all-absorbing ciuestion of finances;
are we aware of its vital importance — do We act
as if we were? We have been told again and
again, that money is a vital necessity to this in-
stitution — do we realize that means life or death?
If a man felt the force of those words, would
he, if he were a true and loyal alumnus, continue
to do nothing and wait for the end to come?
Look forward 20 years, 10 years, even 5 ; can you
not realize what will take place in these years?
Oh ! that some one could put life in these dry
bones ! Our hope is in Doctor Fell.

The excellent and complete description of the
new Baltimore and Ohio ward is from the pen
of Professor Page Edmunds, surgeon in charge.
The ward has been constructed under his super-
vision and no one is so competent to write it up
as he, for he is familiar with all its details. In
inception, no less than construction, it is his
work and the LTniversity owes him a deep debt
for having gotten the railroad authorities to
build and equip it. While it is nominally a
monument to the lamented Dr. Bond, it will also
always serve to testify to the energy and enthu-
siasm of its founder. The capacities of the
University Hospital are greatly increased and
extended by this beautiful ward, to be main-
tained in perpetuity by this great railroad.
o

The proposal to invite Dr. Friedinann here to
demonstrate his anti-tubercular turtle serum at
University Hospital has not as yet been adopted
by the Medical Faculty. It seems to us that it
would be better to await the results of the trial
in New York. The question cannot be deter-
mined in haste. The history of the Koch tuber-
culin should teach us patience.
o

The Provost of the University left Baltimore
on the 14th inst. for Richmond, Va., where he
attended the conference for Education in the
South, which met April 15-18. A number of
prominent educators, including presidents and
members of college faculties, discussed the best
means for the further development of education
in the Southern States.

The Third Annual Peace Oratorical Contest,
mentioned in our last issue as about to be held
on April 4 in McCoy Hall, Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, resulted in a victory for St. John's Col-
lege. The first prize of $75 for the best oration
on international peace, was won by Mr. Calvert
Magruder, a member of the senior class and
editor of St. John's Collegian.

"The Third Hague Conference and Certain
Phases of the Peace Movement" was the subject
of Mr. Magruder's oration, in which he discussed
the important problems and duties of the inter-
national conference of 1915, the position in the
peace movement which America has assumed
and should assume and the aid which can be
given to the furtherance of peace. Mr. Magru-
der's effort was distinguished by logical arrange-
ment, by clearness of thought and force of de-
livery.

The other contestants were from Georgetown
University, Johns Hopkins University, Wash-
ington College and Loyola College, and the first
won the second prize of $50. The judges were
former Mayor J. Barry Mahool, Ex-Judge Al-
fred S. Niles, Mr. William H. Morriss, Rev. H.
B. McCormick and Mr. Thomas H. Bowles. The
Hall was crowded.

The University may claim equal credit with
St. John's in Mr. Magruder's performance, as he
is an Associate Editor of this Journal and will
soon receive a degree here. We congratulate him
most heartily on his success and ourselves on the
prospect of the acquisition of so bright and prom-
ising a young alumnus.

A report on the medical libraries of the world,
published in the Medical Record of March 15,
gives statistics to that date. We have gleaned
some interesting details. There are 145 entries
of which ^2) belong to the United States. Syria,
India, Manila and Japan are represented. The
largest collections are those of the Faculty of

Dr. VV. H. Welch was in the full tide of his
brilliant career as teacher and had attracted to
Baltimore such men as the late Christian A. Her-
ter and W. S. Halsted of New York ; W. T. Coun-
cilman, now of Harvard; A. C. Abbott, now of
the University of Pennsylvania ; F. P. Mall, later
at Clark University and the University of Chi-
cago, and many others of equal prominence,
who were all deeply engaged in medical research.
Possessing encyclopedic knowledge, unusual gen-
iality and large-mindedness in his relations with
other men and a gift of exposition, so essential
to the true teacher, he has been an active factor
in the University and Hospital for many years.
He is above all an investigator with a judicial
cast of mind and with the ability to stimulate m
his associates and students to productive work
and the greater ability to exercise' a wise control
over them. Dr. Hurd, Early Days of Johns

that it is not. Tell her I shall not readily for-
give her if she does not write something in your
next letter which I enjoin you to send by re-
turn mail."

Nov. 13, 1831, to his Sister- Christine: "You
have, no doubt, long since given up all idea of
ever hearing from me again. Not so, however.
I mean still occasionally to trouble you. The
fact is there is nothing here worth writing about
and I do not like frequently to inflict upon you
a sheet full of repetitions. I continue to like this
place. My time is entirely tho' agreeably occu-
pied. There is only one great want and that
is society. Most of the good people here want
polish, having become stiff and awkward by over
attention to study. We have one real lady with
us tho', the lady of Lieut. Pendleton, formerly
Miss Page, of Chesterfield Co., Va., a relative
of the Pages and Nelsons, of Frederick. She is
a charming woman. Write to me soon and give
me the news of the farm and neighborhood. Tell
me how my friend Miss Juliet comes on. I be-
lieve I enquired for her in my last and called
her Harriet. I am, however, notorious for for-
getting names. But especially tell me what has
become of Sir Harold Harfagen, and whether
he has improved since I left home. My love to
the family and to the Hopkinses, if any are with
you. P. S. — You were, of course, present at
Marietta's wedding? Do give me some account
of it. She is one of the sweetest women I ever
saw. Why did not Hal add a postscript to your
last? H she is with you, make her do so when
you write again."

New York, March 29, 1832, to his Sister Chris-
tine : "Don't let my long silence make you think
me disposed to retaliate, my dear lassie with
the lint-white locks, but only that I have been
a' little lazy or so. In fact I have very good
reasons for not having written sooner, but a
truce with reasoning for the present. I have al-
lowed so long a time to pass by that I don't
know where you are, what you are doing or even
what to say to you ; for if you are at home, I
wish to send a few messages. There, however,
I shall address you and if you have gone down

ter will reach you so much the later. Henry"

the bye, who told you that idle story about him
and Miss Randolph ? I have heard she is a very
sweet girl. I have just this moment been very
much shocked by hearing of Uncle Tom's dread-
ful misfortune" (the burning of his home, "Kin-
loch," in Fauquier Co., Va.)- "It is announced
to me in today's Intelligencer. I love my uncle
very much, as well as all his family and propor-
tionate to my love for them is the intensity with
vvhich I lament their calamity. Tell me where
they have gone — some to Wheatland, I presume,
of course. At your leisure send me the words
of some of those songs you used to sing for me
last summer."

"Small fevers thankfully received" will soon
be the slogan of the Seniors.

Mr. Caldwell, of the Junior Class, has now
completely recovered from his attack of cellulitis
which confined him to the hospital for a number
of days. Mr. Caldwell was under the care of
Dr. Spruill.

The last meeting of the present school year
of the Randolph Winslow Surgical Society was
held Monday, March 31, at 8 P. M., in Davidge
Hall. Certificates of membership signed by the
Flonorary President, Prof. Winslow and by the
active officers were presented to each member.
Mr. Norment was elected temporary President.

present time Skin, State Medicine and Ortho-

grateful — ^but we have a suspicion that that vac-

The Freshmen have not been much in the

not that we purposely intended to slight the
movulating embryos of doctordom, but news
from the Freshmen has been a thing remote —
just like a graveyard. However, they have come
to the point by putting out a baseball team —
and their first game resulted in a victory — for
the other fellows. Their opposing team was

Mr. Lutz, of the Junior Class, has recovered
almost entirely the vise of his arm. It will be re-
membered that Mr. Lutz fractured the olecranon
process of his ulnar bone some time ago.

The Saturday afternoons of the Juniors are
pretty well occupied. While Dr. Taylor does
not have the class at the Kernan Hospital, Dr.
Shipley and the various teachers of Physical
Diagnosis entertain them at the Bay View Hos-
pital.

Dr. Adler is now lecturing to the Juniors on
Dietetics.

''What does Commencement day mean?" some-
one asked and a wit replied — 'Tt"s the day on
which a college graduate commences hunting for
a job." From the outlook, the Seniors will not
have to hunt much for practically every man in
the class has secured an appointment.

The Sophomores have finished the course in,

The Sophomore Class extend their sympathies
to their fellow classmate, Mr. Roskin, of Savan-

DEPARTMENT OF LAW.

The peaceful quiet of the law school has had
little about which any interest might attach dur-
ing the past two months. The legal minds in
their development are getting a taste of the
quiet, which ofttimes follows them into practice,
to the detriment of the exchequer.

A reason for this lack of excitement and news
for our readers we are not able to discover. It
would give the Editor a great deal of pleasure
to be able to record some feat performed or
movement started which might be of interest,
but alas, there is nothing of the kind. Everyone
is pursuing his own way, reading his cases,
thinking out his own problems and the halls of
our school resound not with the clamor of anar-
chistic tumult.

This lack of news, this apathy, however, while
much deplored from a journalistic standpoint,
still indicates that our boys are studying hard ;
that they are doing what they came to the Uni-
versity of Maryland to do, and in the end the
benefit will be theirs and ours.

Since we were last in print, Mr. Want has
begun his Bar Quizes, and they are well attended.
Starting at an early date as he has, Mr. Want
will be able to go over all the ground in a thor-
ough manner and if the men can only find the
time to be regular in their attendance, few of
them should fail to pass the final test. The
classes meet on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs-
day evenings.

In addition to these 'meetings Mr. Want has
arranged to have Sunday afternoon Quizes, at
which time two of the quizes given during the
preceding week will be reviewed.

The first Monday in April was the date given
for the handing in of the thesis and it is hoped
that every member of the senior class was able
to write, what he considered, at least, the prize
winner. All cannot win the prize, it is true, but
all can congratulate the winner and to this end
we are awaiting the award.

"How to find the law," a useful bit of knowl-
edge, served up a little rare, with a distinct
comedy dressing, was a dish placed before the
school during the past week. It was quite an
appetizer and Mr. Daly, who acted as the prin-
cipal speaker on these festive occasions, stirred

OLD MARYLAND.

up in our young minds, by his canonade of
English, both ancient and modern, a conception
at least, that the law could be found and that he
could find it and that we could too, if we had
the American Digest. Having driven home this
useful bit of information, we received some
"scattered thoughts," which beggar description
and so he departed. Selah.

Mr. Charles M. Henderson, one of our most
studious, energetic, popular and good-looking
(although he is a little short) seniors, we are
proud to relate has been appointed Secretary to
Judge Harlan, the Dean of the Law Department,
and, I am informed, he is ready at all times to
help any of us along who are seeking knowledge
regarding the Law Course, as well as to take
our tuition fee. We wish him success.

Professor Frank, who was prevented by illness

DEPARTMENT OF DENTISTRY.

Dr. L. A. Bragg, 1901, now located at Warm
Springs, Va., recently visited us, having stopped
off while on his way to New York City, where
he has gone to arrange for the taking over of his
brother's practice in the metropolis.

Dr. D. T. B. Houston, president of the class
of 1912, spent some days in mingling with the
students and instructors. David is a loyal Uni-
versity of Maryland man and it seems good to
have had him with us after an absence of one
year.

Dr. B. B. Ide, of Lockport, N. Y., class of
1902, was called to this city during the week of
April 7, by the death of his wife's sister. He
only recently returned from a visit to the west,
where he took a special course of instruction in
analgesia by nitrous oxide and oxygen, under
Dr. Barber, of Chicago. Dr. Ide is very enthu-
siastic over this method of painless dentistry and
contemplates coming to Baltimore and specializ-
ing in it.

Walter L. Pierce, druggist, met the members
of the senior class on April 11 and discussed
the Buckley line of special dental remedies.

Dr. Jessie DeFord gave a lecture and demon-
stration to the members of the senior class, on
April 12, her subject being "Analgesia by the
Use of Somnoform." Quite a number of the
students tested the quality of the agent by in-
haling it themselves. The method calls for a
dilution of the Somnoform by the admixture of
air, so as to limit its effect to the early stages of
narcosis, short of the exciting stage.

Dr. S. P. Dean, class of 1900, paid us a short
visit recently. He is located in New Orleans and
reports that the various alumni in that section
are doing well.

DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY.

There were 79 candidates at the State Board
Examinations held in Davidge Hall, on April 3,
among the number being 4 ladies and 4 colored
men.

Mr. H. Cline is sick in the Hospital and it is
thought he will be there for a week or more.

A copy of the memorial resolutions, drawn up
by the class, at the beginning of the session, have
been sent to the mother of Mr. E. Cathcart.

At a meeting of the senior class on the 9th
inst., to decide about having a dance within the
next few weeks, a motion was made to have one
and a committee was appointed to make arrange-
ments.

Many of the pharmacy students have been
availing themselves of the privilege of using the
library, this session. There is a large number of
books there of interest to them and they are
always welcome. The dispensatories and other
works upon materia medica are of special interest
and have been in almost daily use by investiga-
tors from this department.

Among the Librarian's "treasures," are the
medical diploma (honorary) of Mr. George An-
drews, one of the most eminent members of our
profession in Baltimore, founder of the house
of Andrews & Thompson, and a photograph of

THE CERTIFICATION OF PHARMACISTS.

Dear Doctor —

Certain New York physicians and pharmacists have
appointed a joint committee which is to thoroughly inves-
tigate New York pharmacies and certify to the worth of
those that meet reasonable modern requirements in stock,
in equipment ad in practice.

We believe our greatly enlarged facilities and up-to-
date equipment would amply entitle us to such certifica-
tion. The character of work we have been doing for more
than twenty years has, we hope, thoroughly and firmly
established us in your esteem and favorably testifies as to
our abilities and methods.

RESPONSE TO TOAST, "HOW WAS THE
MERGER EFFECTED?" BY S. K. MER-
RICK, M.D., BALTO. MEDICAL COLLEGE.

Mr. Toastiiiastcr and Mr. Provost —

I fear the story of the merger is entirely too
long and certainly somewhat inappropriate for
this occasion. As I understand, we are here to-
night primarily to honor Dr. Fell, our New Pro-
vost, who has but recently been inducted into
office. My remarks will, therefore, be brief and
merely refer to some of the results of the mer-
ger rather than to the merger itself.

To begin, I wish first to express my pleasure
at seeing an honored member of the Medical De-
partment, Professor Randolph Winslow, present
tonight. He and I were medical students at the
University at the sarhe time, and I want to speak
of a very distinct service he rendered in the mer-
ger proceedings. I refer to the question of
titles for the members of the Faculty of the Bal-
timore Medical College. We got most of them
adjusted, but there were two or three, and one in
particular, we studied over several weeks, but
could find no satisfactory solution of the diffi-
culty. The whole question was turned over to
Dr. Winslow, and when he came to my office and
presented the list of names with titles affixed for
my inspection, I could not make a single sugges-
tion. I submitted the list to our Faculty at its
next meeting and it was adopted without a dis-
senting vote.

There has been a merger recently consum-
mated between the Baltimore Medical College
and the University of Maryland, whereby twelve
members of the Facultyof the former institution
have become professors in the University and
two thousand and more Alumni will be eligible to
membership in this association. This is the most
important event in the evolution of medical edu-
cation that has ever taken place in Baltimore. It
will, in my opinion, give an impetus to the Uni-
versity, far-reaching in its effects. You get the
co-operation of a dozen good teachers, who are
forceful and resourceful men, who have been
trained in constructive educational work.

They come to you as evolutionists and not as
revolutionists. Evolution is essentially construc-
tive, utilizing ideals, traditions, skill and culture,
as well as the more material assets and building
on these, better and broader and greater. Revo-

lution is essentially destructive, tearing down and
destroying, not infrequently, what is more valu-
able than that which takes its place. Revolution
is only beneficent as a rule when effected by evo-
lution. AVe come to you in a spirit of co-opera-
tion, and hope to dovetail the best efforts of
which we are capable into the best efforts of
which you are capable, and push the old Univer-
sity on to wider usefulness. We do not come
down here to make a square peg fit into a round
hole, nor to make a round peg fit into a square
hole. We come to assimilate, and not to disin-
tegrate.

If the University is in a rut, let us all put our
shoulders to the wheel and push her out, but first
let us be sure the rut is in the road, and not in
the eye of the observer. Let us not make the
mistake of pushing her out of an imaginary rut
en to a rougher road. But being thoroughly sat-
ified that the rut is there,' we will push her out
of it into the smooth macadam, where the going
is good and the road is straight, and then throw
her into high gear and keep her in high gear, and
with Fell as Master Machinist and Coale, Harlan,
Heatwole and Caspari by turns at the wheel and
the combined Faculties at the throttle to give
her gas, we will drive her on to a splendid des-
tiny.

To be many-sided, to possess flexibility of tem-
per and suavity of manner, self-command, quick
discernment, addi-ess, ready knowledge of human
nature and the happy genius of adapting oneself
to varying circumstances and to all kinds of peo-
ple, are great necessities in our checkered pro-
fession. Manners often make medical fortunes.

Medical quarrels are a disgrace to the profes-
sion ; therefore, while alive to your own interests,
do not captiously follow up every trifling in-
fringement, difficulty or apparent contradiction,
as if you were ever on the watch for provoca-
tions and angry collisions with your neighbors
and courted a war with everybody for what you
may be pleased to call your "rights."

It is not good for man to be alone, and every
physician should, M'hen his pecuniary circum-
stances justify the step, look out for a good and
wise helpmate with a healthy and faultless body
and a blameless mind —

Whose eyes will mark is coming
And look brighter when he comes.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS OF GEORGE
WASHINGTON TURNER, LIEUTENANT
U. S. A., AT CASTLE PINCKNEY,
CHARLESTON HARBOR, S. C, TO
FRIENDS IN VIRGINIA, 1833.

(Continued from p. 59.)

Jan. 22, to his sister Christine: "(Jur corre-
spondence, my dear Tine, has been so interrupted
of late by my movements and other causes, that
it seems ahnost a novehy for me to be seated to
address you. We must, however, my dear girl,
amongst the ills of this life, bear with patience
that of temporary separation. Some more
auspicious period may enable us to enjoy unin-
terruptedly the pleasures of social intercourse, of
which I confess we have thus far had but little.
I think I last addresed you a crude and hasty note
from Fort Monroe. Since that you have doubt-
less heard of my arrival here thro' my letters
to other members of the family

"There is much here of novelty to attract at-
tention. The climate is more delightful than
any I have ever experienced at this period of the
year. We are now enjoying the spring of the
North and the birds which visit you in the sum-
mer seem to find here an agreeable retreat during
the cold months. The brunette complexion, in-
dicative of a warm climate, prevails. I have not
yet visited at all in Charleston, but the specimens
of the gentler sex whom I have casually met in
their saunterings along King street have not forci-
bly struck my fancy.

"Charleston possesses few adventitious attrac-
tions for one who has seen the finer cities to the
north. Beyond a mild climate and some produc-
tions peculiar to its soil, it is thus far rather un-
interesting to me. But I doubt not that in its
society will be found a fund of pleasure com-
pensating for the want of any other recommenda-

tion. The residents of this country bear a high
character for polish and politeness of manner,
which the few with whom I have formed ac-
quair.tance have fully exemplified.

2:)d. "The garrison from which I address
you stands upon a small piece of ground about
1,-1(10 yards from the mainland, with which there
is no communication but by water. The island
would hardly prove interesting to you as at high
tide it is entirely overflowed and consequently
produces nothing which could convey a sentiment
thro' your Flora's vocabulary. The prospect,
however, of the city on one side. Fort Moultrie
on a second and Fort Johnston on a third, to-
gether with a large expanse of water studded
with vessels, is not without its attractions. We
are between the mouths of the Cooper and
Ashley rivers, which pass to the north and south
of Charleston. I have taken a ride o\er the neck
lying between them, which I found to be a flat,
sandy country, differing in some of its produc-
tions from anything in our part of Virginia.

"Sullivan's Island, where I remained for a fort-
night after our arrival, is a sandbank of more
respectable size than our abode. It is, however,
likewise covered at high tide. At a little dis-
tance it presents the appearance of a city, being
covered with the summer residences of the
wealthy citizens of Charleston. These habita-
tions, intended for occupation only during the
heat of summer, are the most flimsy affairs you
can imagine, consisting of weather board without
plaster on the inside, and many without even
paper or fire places — which latter are necessary
to protect against the occasionally extreme mois-
ture of this climate. But they are so constructed
as, with very little expense, to present quite a
handsome e.xterior, and I was much disappointed
on getting into one for my quarters to find it so
windy. The breakers which dash upon the shore

OLD MARYLAND.

with great violence are crested with foam and
whiten the harbor for miles with their snowy
caps, making a magnificent spectacle, but at the
same time rendering the harbor very unsafe for
entrance. The beach is a most beautiful one and
is covered with pretty shells and various species
of zoophytes, rare and curious to behold.

"Write to me soon, my dear Tine, and tell
me how you are enjoying yourself this winter,
how you like your music and how you are im-
proving yourself. I have received letters only
from Papa, brothers Thomas and William since
my arrival here. I put in the mail with this letter
a paper containing the proceedings of a recent
meeting of 'nullifyers,' which shows that they
are pretty resolute. With love to my aunt and
cousin, etc., your attached brother."

April 6, to his sister Christine : "I have had
the pleasure to receive your aflfectionate letter,
* * We have had a great deal of gaiety here
but there is comparatively very little now and in
that I do not participate as I became quite worn
out three weeks ago. Almost everybody has
left town for the country where they will remain
until the sickly season drives them back, to the
north, etc. It is fatal in the summer season
to sleep a single night in the country, even within
two or three miles of town. But Charleston is
most extraordinarily exempt and there the Caro-
lina citizens find an asylum from the desolation
that would speedily depopulate the country.

"We have commenced to separate in the har-
bor, one of our companies having departed for a
southern post. Several of our officers, too, have
been ordered off and the sloop of war Natchez
has left us. The rest of us have been daily
expecting orders for some time, but we are be-
ginning to fear bring detained here during the
summer. It was supposed that the company
to which I am attached would go to Fort Mc-
Henry, which would have afforded occasional
opportunities for a little excursion to see you in
Virginia.

"I am at present resuscitating from the effects
of the winter's dissipation. A portion of my
leisure time is devoted to reading- and I some-

times make a visit to the country or to the city
where I spend an hour in parading King street —
the Broadway of Charleston — and exchanging
bows with my acquaintances of the winter.

"I hope you do not find Wheatland dull at
present. If so you must depend upon reading; I
hope you and Kit are devoting much time to his-
tory, etc.

"The country here at present presents all the
vegetation and bloom of summer. The early
flowers have been gone for some time, yet, the air
is still fraught with perfume. I suppose that
spring has made its appearance with you, too,
and that Wheatland is now very beautiful. I
have not enjoyed this season there for six 3'ears
past.

"Gi\e my love to all the family individually,
of course Miss Phil, Hall and Cousin Mary, if
with you."

May 4, to his sister Christine: "My life
passes so Cjuietly here in reading diversified only
by an occasional siesta, that I require a little
news, such as you send me, to remind me of the
world. From the number of marriages you
mention and others of which I have heard, I fear
I shall find myself vastly in the minority when I
return. I shall be obliged to get a wife to be in
the fashion.

"You tell me that Hall and Page have been
writing in your Flora. Tell the former she must
never get married without my consent. Give my
best love to both her and Miss Phil. I have not
forgotten my promise to accompany Miss Phil to
Old Point this Spring. When do they go to
Richmond ?

"We expect to receive news this week of our
destination for the summer, whether we shall go
northward or remain in this country. I have
projected a trip to the south before leaving here;
it will take in Augusta and Savannah, the two
prettiest southern towns, and extend as far as St.
Augustine. Remember me particularly to Page"
(Gen. R. C. M. Page, C. S. A.) "and give my
love to all the family. Believe me truly, your
affectionate brother. G. W. T."

allowed to pass. The firemen were still playing
upon the ruins of Practice Hall. Within, I
found several of the Professors, Miles, Chisolni,
Winslow, Atkinson and Chew and some alumni,
whose interest had drawn them hither as mine
had. The museum on the second floor, which
until a short time before had been the dissecting
room, was in a state of confusion. The shelves
were mostly bare, the specimens having been hur-
riedly removed in the excitement and alarm.
Anatomical Hall looked desolate. A great hole
had been burned through the dome-shaped roof
on the north side, through which volumes of
water had poured soaking chairs and floor and
penetrating to Chemical Hall below.

But Practice Hall had borne the brunt of the
disaster. It had just been erected and we had
met there upon invitation of the Medical Faculty
only a few weeks before, to inspect the building.
It was well adapted for the purpose of labora-
tories, the old building having been run back to
the alley and another story added. It contained
the new chemical and pathological laboratories,
fitted with costly microscopes and other appa-
ratus and on the upper floor a superb dissecting
room. I counted there 19 tables, with space for
one or two more. There were ample facilities
for reaching the entire first year class. The
Dean, Dr. Coale, informed me that it was the
largest and most completely furnished chemical
department in the city and he should know, hav-

ing graduated at the Hopkins University. All
these were now in ruins, only a few desolate and
smoking walls and piles of brick attesting their
late grandeur. Much of the apparatus, however,
was saved through the exertions of the students
and others, and fortunately the time of the oc-
currence of the catastrophe (5 P. M.) was favor-
able for the work of rescue. It will not cost very
much to put the main building again in habitable
order, but the Faculty will not rebuild Practice
Hall until the Spring, meanwhile using the Dental
Laboratory for histological and chemical work.
The insurance upon the burnt building was
$2,000, whilst the loss was $12,000. The- com-
mittee would have completed the insurance for
the full amount in one or two days had the fire
not taken place when it did.

Smallpox. March 30, 1757, owing to the pre-
valence of the disease in Annapolis, the Governor
issues a proclamation directing the Legislature
to meet in Baltimore, April 5. It accordingly
met there for the first and only time. In July the
disease ceased its ravages in Annapolis, after
having been epidemic there about nine months,
and the Governor appointed Aug. 12 as a day of
humiliation and ])rayer. Scarff's Baltimore

Within the last 30 years the whole mode and
tenor of medical investigations have undergone
a complete revolution. The new and inexhausti-
ble mine laid open by the great Bichat, in the
creation of the science of general anatomy, has
gradually alienated the attention of medical phi-
losophers from their blind and exclusive attention
to the hidden and impenetrable mysteries of
vitalism and in proportion as it has become fixed
upon the rich doman of structural anatomy, il-
lustrated as it has been by a careful observance
of vital phenomena, their investigations have
been submitted to the guidance of the rules of
induction and have conducted them from an ob-
servance of isolated facts to the establishment of
those legitimate conclusions which are the logical
sequences of a true philosophical analysis. Min-
ute anatomical structure must be the starting
point of all physiological and pathological re-
searches ; and it is just as impossible for an in-
dividual who is devoid of this preliminarv
knowledge to reason correctly upon the complex
operations of the vital economy or to understand

The battalion made a very satisfactory showing,
and the field maneuvers, especially, received the
commendation of the inspector.

Athletics : St. John's has de\'eloped an ex-
ceptionally strong baseball team this season, hav-
ing won to date (May Dth) 7 of the ten games.
Returning from a successful Southern trip, St.
John's took the Navy into camp by a 5-0 white-
wash. The team was defeated by M. A. C. in a
close game, but Captain Noble expects the return
game on May 2-lth to tell a different tale. — At the
Maryland Agricultural College field and track
meet, held May 3d, St. John's swept the field with
a total of 47 points, as against the 29 points of her
nearest competitor, M. A. C. — The seniors, with
a total of 37 points, won a recent inter-class field
and track meet. Sophomores, second, 32. Fresh-
men, third, 23. — St. John's scored another one
against her Hopkins rivals when her tennis team
defeated the Black and Blue, on May 7th, by a
score of 4-2. Hopkins was expecting an easy
victory, but S. J. C. showed surprising form.

Alumni Notes: In the death last month of
Daniel M. Thomas, of Baltimore, St. John's lost
its oldest living alumnus. He graduated in 1846.
— The engagement has been announced of Pay-
master S. R. White, Jr., U. S. N., to Miss

Dr. Gordon Wilson has recommended the fol-
lowing books to the Juniors for Summer read-
ing: "Immunity and Serum Therapy," by Rick-
etts, published by the A. M. A.; "Clinical
Pathology," a translation from the German of
Krehl's "Pathological Physiology." For light
reading, "The Life of Pasteur," by Vallery Ro-
dot ; "The Life of Sir James Paget," by his son,
and "The Life and Letters of Huxley." Dr.
Wilson has also advised the Juniors to subscribe
to the medical journals, particularly the Journal
of the American Medical Association. "Allbutt's
System of Medicine" the doctor regards as the
best book for the students to purchase for use
thruout their medical career, being a ready
reference on practically any subject.

Thru the instrumentality of Prof. Shipley,
the Sophomore class of the Balto. Medical Col-
lege were given an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with their future classmates a few weeks
ago. The students were well welcomed by the
University boys and interchanges of class and
college yells resounded on the campus. .-Vfter
listening to Dr. Shipley's lecture on Materia Med-
ica, the B. M. C. boys were shown about the
school, the laboratories and the hospital.

Prof. Marden, of the B. M. C, and next year
our Professor of Histology and Embryology,
gave a very interesting lecture and demonstra-
tion on the Filaria Sanguinis Hominis, in the

OLD MARYLAND.

University Amphitheatre, during the past week.
The embryo fiariae were obtained from the blood
of a Freshman student at the B. M. C. Prof.
Harden gave Dr. Asper a number of shdes whicli
the future toilers in the Clinical Lab. will have
to worry about, no doubt.

Dr. Macks has been giving the Sophomore class
in sections, weekly quizzes on Pathology, which
are helping the Sophs very materially with their
course. The general impression among the stu-
dents is that Dr. Macks has made things hum
this year, but of course there's no hard feeling —
of course not, Terese, for we are here to learn
and Dr. Macks to teach.

For the first time in the history of the school,
we believe, the Junior class have been compelled
to perform Physical Examinations on patients at
Bay View, which examinations are to count on
their final examination sheets. We're not saying
much but Lord 'a mercy on the students a few
years from now.

The Dean has given orders that hereafter smok-
ing will not be permitted in Davidge Hall under
any circumstances. After a recent examination
held there the Dean picked up at least fifty unlit
matches, while well-nourished Howard got to
work with the broom and shovel and collected a
bucket full of cigar and cigarette stumps. While
to those who smoke the ruling seems a little
drastic, still we must acknowledge its justice.
Davidge Hall is an old biulding, a relic of
other days, and contains books that are price-
less, let alone it being one of the foremost
school libraries in the country. Dr. Cordell
has given much time and painstaking efforts
to make it so, and any honor the school re-
ceives thru its library is almost entirely the
result of Dr. Cordell's untiring work. We
could imagine that good doctor's feelings of
he should come down some morning to find
Davidge Hall suffering a fourth degree burn.

Prof. Smith is helping Dr. Holland quiz the
Sophs in Practical Anatomy.

The members of the Junior Class thru Old
Maryland wish to extend their very sincere
thanks to Dr. Gordon Wilson for the splendid

manner in which he conducted the course in
Medicine. Dr. Wilson claims he holds the record
for flunking the most men, yet flunk or pass we
know that we have osmosed some medicine. It
was the doctor's habit to lecture 45 minutes and
the rest of tlie hour was given the students in
which to quiz the doctor, in which time you may
be sure we were "wired" up on many things.

Prof. Jos. T. Smith was obliged to postpone
his examination in Hygiene a few days because
of a business engagement out of town. The
examination was held, however, Saturday, May
10, at 2 P. M.

Prof. Gordon Wilson has made the following
appointments to the Bay View Hospital in the
T. B. department: Chief Resident, Frank E.
Callahan ; house residents, C. S. Neistadt and
Jos. Sparck, all of the class of '13.

"Veni, vidi, vici — examinatione cinchibus,"
quoth J. Caesar, as he picked up a copy of Old
Maryland, after a quiet tete-a-tete with Prof.
Quiz. Thereupon, all the studes and near studes
crowded about, beseeching him who gave fame to
Cleopatra, as to what the questions were. Like
Caesar, in a few weeks we will be able to say
the veni, vidi part, but what the next word will
be I know not. I dare not surmise, yet I pray for

burn not the midnight oil, now that the night of

'twould be useless if we had not studied before.
It may be, yet "it's never too late to learn" and

The graduating exercises of the University

at Lehmann's Hall, on May 15, at 8 P. M. Prayer
was offered by Rev. Dr. Kinsolving, of St. Paul's
P. E. Church. The address to the graduates was
made by Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte. The diplo-
mas were conferred by Dr. R. Dorsey Coale,
Dean of the Faculty of Physic. The follow-
ing were the graduates : Dorothy Henrietta Pat-

The action of Washington College in opening
its doors free to Maryland boys is in accordance
with the spirit of the times. The sentiment is in
favor of popularizing all academic education,
of extending its privileges as widely as the public
is capable of receiving it. In many of the States,
especially in the West, the Universities are free.
We see no reason why it should not be so in
Maryland, why all grades of public instruction,
from the highest to the lowest, should not stand
upon the same footing. Of course free access
to the colleges means state support. We are
rapidly coming to that. Dr. Fell's idea of a
State University, embracing the various educa-
tional institutions throughout the State, is grow-
ing in favor. We need a systematization of our
educational system, of State bounty. This mat-
ter should be placed in the hands of a competent
board. State Comptroller Harrington strongly
urges the consolidation of all the schools into a
big State University, liberally supported by the
State. It will pay to educate our citizens.

A year or two ago we published some stirring
words from the President of Cornell University
about freedom of thought and speech in univer-
sities. The attempt to chain down the human
mind and make it run in certain grooves will
ever prove disastrous. It is absurd to suppose
that knowledge is complete in any direction or
that there is any field which is not the legitimate
subject of investigation by human reason. Man's
reason must be the ultimate judge of all knowl-
edge, of all experience ; we cannot conceive that
it could be conferred upon him without the right
to use it. The following is the declaration of
the University of Wisconsin upon this subject
and illustrates the advanced attitude of the world
to it:

"We cannot for a moment believe that knowl-
edge has reached its final goal or that the present
constitution of society is perfect. Li all lines of
investigation the investigator should be absolutely
free to follow the paths of truth wherever they
may lead. Whatever may be the limitations
which trammel inquiry elsewhere we believe the
great State of Wisconsin should ever encourage
that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing
by which alone the truth can be found."

The idea that there can be unendowed univer-
sities and colleges has passed away with the rapid
progress of events and it seems strange that sen-
sible men should have held it so recently. No
institution can maintain a respectable standing
vi^ithout endowment and dependence upon stu-
dents' fees means early dissolution. With an in-
come of over two and a half million dollars, Har-
vard University had a deficit last year of $16,000 ;
only one-fourth of its income came from stu-
dents.. Other institutions may be run upon a
more economical basis, but these figures are
startling. We must remember, too, that the
standard is rising and becoming more uniform
every year, and with this rise of standard there
will be increase of need. Truly there is necessity
to bestir ourselves !

At the' recent annual meeting of the Medical
and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, hpld in
Baltimore, April 22-31, the following University
of Maryland men were elected to office: Presi-
dent, Dr. R. Winslow, '73; Vice-Presidents, C.
R. Winterson, '71, A. L. Franklin, '02, and Gor-
don Wilson ; Delegate to Am. Med. Asso., G.
Lane Taneyhill, '65 ; Member State Board of
Medical Examiners, A. L. Wilkinson, '03.

Owing to continued ill-health. Dr. Marshall L.
Price tendered his resignation as . Secretary of
the State Board of Health in January, 1913. It
was regretfully accepted at the regular monthly
meeting held January 16. Dr. John S. Fulton,
who had been Dr. Price's predecessor in office,
was unanimously elected at the same meeting to
fill the vacancy. For nearly seven years Dr.
Price performed the duties of his office with great
credit to himself and lasting benefit to the people
of the State of Maryland. Besides his studies
in tuberculosis, which are quoted. throughout the
length and breadth of the land, he succeeded in
bringing about a number of important reforms,
systematizing the work of the Board and enlarg-
ing its sphere of usefulness. Among these inno-
vations may be mentioned the passage of the pure
food and drug law of Maryland, the organization
of the Board into bureaus, the daily report of
infectious diseases and the publication of the
Health Officers Bulletin. Rohrer, Md. Med.

OLD MARYLAND.

Thirty-five years ago the Philadelphia County
Medical Society started a fund for the rehef of
destitute physicians and their families. The work
done is made known through annual reports.
Last June there were over $36,000 in hand and
the amount this June will probably be over $40,-
000. The fund is a permanent one, the interest
alone being available. The late Dr. Roland G.
Curtin, who was President of the Aid Associa-
tion, was deeply interested in founding also a
Home in connection therewith. A movement had
been started in that direction by -the New York
Physicians' Mutual Aid Association and he knew
of a number of old physicians in Philadelphia
who were in Homes for the aged, some of whom
had been helped to get in by his Association.
"Some of the greatest and most successful chari-
ties in the world," he urged, "have been started
in a small way." Unfortunately, Dr. Curtin's
death put a stop to his aspirations, but it is not
unlikely some other Philadelphia physician will
be found to take up the great work and follow
in the footsteps of Baltimore.

The students' year-book, "Terra Mariae," is
out and will receive due notice. It is a very
creditable volume and is under the editorial
charge of E. G. Breeding, Med., '13, and his as-
sociates. It represents four of the five depart-
ments of the University, St. John's, the depart-
ment of arts and sciences, having its own year-
book, "Rat-Tat."

The new President of Washington and Lee
University, Dr. Henry Louis Smith — a brother
of Professor Alonzo Smith, of the University
of \'a., who delivered such a striking address
on Poe here at the Academic Day Celebration in
November, 1911, — was installed on May 7. He
spoke of the function of the American College of
the 20th Century. Among other things he said —
"Let the American College answer the call of the
new century and take as her mission the training
of leaders in the realm of American citizenship.
Let her typical graduate be the ideal American
citizen, trained not only to know — which is
scholarship, and to appreciate — which is culture,
but also to be and to do — which is manhood ; of
\irile and vigorous mind as of vore, but the virile
and vigorous body as well : energetic, resourceful,
high-minded, sympathetic, able to manage himself

and other men, with a passion for righteousness
and self-sacrificing devotion to the public wel-
fare. To accomplish this task, the college must
recognize as her ofiiicial province, not the disem-
bodied intellect alone, but the whole man, social,
moral, spiritual , physical ; not the class-room
hours alone, but the other nine-tenths of the stu-
dent's time ; not his text-books only, but his com-
panions and associations."

The most important feature of the Commence-
nient, which will be held at the Lyric Theatre,
on the afternoon of May, 31, will be the formal
installation of the new Provost. Judge Henry
Stockbridge, who acted as Provost after the
death of Mr. Bernard Carter, will preside and
make the announcement. Mr. Philemon H. Tuck,
of the Board of Regents, will deliver the con-
gratulatory address and Governor Goldsborough
will address the graduating classes.

The annual reunion of graduates and alumni
will take place on the evening of May 30, at
Osier Hall, 1211 Cathedral St., under the auspices
of the General Alumni Association. The speak-
ers will be the Provost of the University, Dr.
Thomas Fell, and Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton.
Mr. Leroy Oldham will give some of his inimita-
ble recitations in the negro dialect. A collation
will be served. Send $1 to N .Winslow, Cor.
Sec, and get a card of admission.

tion on Ophthalmology. Among those who will

"We all recognize the need of an adequate
endowment fund in order to perpetuate our work
in this wonderful twentieth century of progress,
and here again you will find an ample field for
your ministrations. Second only to the need of
money is the need of greater publicity. This is
the advertising age. Banks, those staid and dig-
nified institutions, which a few years ago would
have scorned to use the papers for such purposes,
now tell the public through the press day by
day of their superior facilities for service. Our
churches occupy two or more pages on Saturday,
not to tell the people primarily of the value of the
gospel teaching from the pulpit point of view,
but of the fine music, both vocal and instru-
mental, wonderful moving pictures, historical or
poetical lectures, etc., and too often give the the-
atrical or circus advice — 'Come early and avoid
the rush.' " Dr. B. Merrill Hopkinson, at the
Reception. Hospital Bulletin.

"If any one can organize the somewhat hetero-
geneous body of instructors of the University
into one homogeneous whole, it is Dr. Fell. I
think he will do it. It is a great task to get the
doctors, the lawyers, the pharmacists and the
dentists or stomatologists to believe that they
are all one body working with one great com-
mon aim and purpose — the unification and up-
building of the University into one great insti-
tution or body; but to make this University do its
most efl^ective work and keep pace with the pres-
ent day requirements, it must be done. * * The
separate faculties may not realize the necessity
of having one directing head, but it is most es-
sential at this time. How can a corporation or
institution of any kind be successfully managed
by a half dozen heads? Asking the question
gives its own answer. * * A Swede had
grown rich, and wanted a picture of his father
but had no photograph, and his father was dead
when the artist did the work. The Swede, after
looking on the finished product, said, it is 'Vater,'
but 'mine Gott, Vater, how you have changed !'
So will the men of the University say in the
years to come under the new provost." Judge
Dav/kins, at the Reception. Hospital Bulletin.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW.

There are about 45 candidates for the degree.
The final examinations began May 15 and will
continue till the 23d.

The State Law Examination will be held at
the Richmond Market Armory, June 5 and 6,
from 10 to 1 A. M. and 2 to 5 P. M. They will
be conducted under the rules of the Court of
Appeals, adopted in pursuance of Chap. 139, Act
of 1898. Applications must be filed by May 2G.
The members of the Board are David G. Mc-
intosh, John Flinkley and Fred. T. Haines
(Sec).

The "grinds" have come into their own again.
Examination time is here again. The man who
can work all day and study all night is better
in the minds of the law student than he who can
conquer the world.

To the senior this examination is of supreme
moment. It means much to him. It is a ques-
tion whether or not he receives his diploma.
There is not possibility for him to take the failed

subject over again next year. He must pass it
now. Few people realize how pleasant is this
feeling until they are up against it, and we are
all up against it.

Judge Rose has just begun his all night quizzes
and the electric bill is increasing. We have
figured out that the men who are able to stick
out a majority of Judge Rose's quizzes ought to
pass as well as be able to sit through a murder
trial, even if they are the accused.

In connection with the quizzes many humorous
instances have occurred. We might tell a few
of these but it might not be the most charitable
thing to do so we restrain ourselves. It is a safe
bet, however, that one well known, well liked and
perhaps the heftiest man in our class will look
up, read, mark and digest the legal meaning of
"equitable waste" and "unjust enrichment."

The Cotillion Club of St. John's have most
courteously invited the graduating class of the
Law School to attend their May Dance, which
will be held in their Gymnasium on May 23d.
The Senior class, at a meeting, instructed their
Secretary to thank the St. John's boys for their
invitation and express the hope that we would be
able to attend.

Mr. Moss, one of our Seniors, has just been
appointed Adjutant on the staff of the Com-
mander of the First Battalion of the First Md.
Regiment. Mr. Moss was a St. John's student
before entering the U. of M. With this record
back of him there ought to be nothing in the way
of military tactics for him to learn.

The Law Department seems to be well repre-
sented in the Terra Mariae, which is now on
sale. This publication certainly looks good and
too much credit cannot be given to the Editors
for their work in getting it together. Mr. Bailey
was the Editor from the Law Department.

CHILDHOOD RECOLLECTIONS OF RICH-
MOND DURING THE CIVIL WAR.

(By a Lady.)

Although I was only nine years old when
the V\'a.v ended, I have a very vivid recollection
of Richmond during the great conflict. My
father was a physician and our home was in
Smithfield, Isle of Wight County, Virginia,
on the south side of the James River, some
thirty miles above Norfolk. When the Federal
troops occupied that section, our family went
to Milton, N. C, where for some months we
occupied the Academy building. During the
winter of 1861-62 we moved to Richmond, my
father being at the time surgeon in charge of
the Louisiana Hospital there.

Our residence was on Franklin St., next to
that of General Lee. I saw a great deal of
the General and the members of his family,
with whom we were very intimate. The Gen-
eral was very fond of children and the}' were
equally so of him. We were always on the
lookout for him, when he came home to visit
his family. As soon as we spied him coming
up the street, we ran to meet him, seizing him
by the hand, the coat, around the neck, any
part of him we could catch hold of and escort-
ing him to his door. On such occasions he
did not thrust us off, although Mrs. Lee would
very properly say — "Now, children, run away,
the General is tired ; he has been fighting the

battles of his country and he needs rest." The
General would reply, "Oh ! let the dear little
children stay a while," and he would sit on the
porch while we climbed all around and upon
him, begging for locks of hair and buttons for
our "memor}' strings." I had such a memory
string over three yards long, containing but-
tons of all the prominent Confederate officers. I
lost this interesting relic in a railroad wreck
when we came to Baltimore after the war. I have
often sat on the General's knee and kissed him
many times. He was a fine looking man, very
gentle and kind but rather grave. He some-
times rode in from camp on horseback and
he often looked tired and his clothes were dusty
and faded.

I saw President Jefferson Davis daily, as we
played in Capitol Square opposite his resi-
dence. He was also fond of children and al-
ways stopped and spoke to us and patted us
on the head. I only remember seeing Jackson
once alive. He was coming from the direction
of the President's house and was on horseback
accompanied by a number of officers. He
struck me as a fine looking" man. I also met
Generals George Pickett and Charles W. Field,
both of whom were guests of ours. Dr. Yel-
"s^erton Garrett, physician to the President, was
a frequent, almost daily, visitor to our house,
ha^'ing been a warm friend of my father.

We attended St. Paul's Protestant Episco-
pal Church, where we had a pew just behind
the President. It was the leading church in
the citjr and was attended by the most promi-
nent people, both residents and visitors. Dear
old Dr. Minnegerode was the rector and was
beloved by everybody. He had a strong Ger-
man accent and used to say: "I marry dese
man to dese woman" and "Bredren, led us lif
in peas and hominy."

One of the great social events at St. Paul's
was the marriage of General Pegram to the
great A^irginia belle. Miss Hettie Cary. She
was magnificently gowned in white satin. No
one could imagine how she had procured a

white satin dress, but she wore it and also a
long" tulle veil. The General was in full uni-
form. It was a sensational affair. When the
bride got half way up the aisle she dropped
her handkerchief and stopped until the bride-
groom discovered her loss and handed it to
her. She then proceeded to the chancel rail.
Again when the time came to produce the ring,
it was found that the best man had left it at his
room and the ceremony had to be delayed until
it could be gotten.

I was in the church on that historic Sunday
when a messenger came in and touched Mr.
Davis on the shoulder, whispering something
to him. He arose immediatel}' and went out.
Ever_vone knew that something serious had
happened and man}^ of the congregation left
the church, ourselves included. Next day Rich-
mond was evacuated.

We had already had intimations of what was
about to happen although few were willing
to believe that such a catastrophe was possi-
ble. Yet there were some who realized the con-
dition of things and were wise enough to pro-
vide for it by turning their Confederate money
into provisions and goods at fabulous prices.
My mother was one of these wise virgins. She
was "put wise" by General Duff Green, who
was an intimate friend and confident of Mr.
Davis. He told her that she had better turn
her money into goods or gold, as the fall of the
city was only a few days off. She took his ad-
vice and, carrying a market basket full of
Confederate money down town to the whole-
sale groceries, she purchased flour, coffee, tea,
molasses, soap, meal, black-eyed peas, her-
rings, candles, sugar, and ham. She paid
$1,500 a barrel for flour and $1 apiece for can-
dles. She thus filled her storeroom and pantry
and was able to supply not only her own
household but her mother and several of her
sisters, who had not taken her advice and con-
sequently had absolutely nothing to eat.

I often visited the hospital with my father
and took delicacies to the sick and wounded
soldiers. He would put me on the bed by the
soldiers and give me a switch to keep the flies
off them. They loved to have me come to see
them because, as they said, they had little
children of their own and I reminded them of
them.

My mother was a most devoted Southerner
and almost turned her house into a hospital.
She was a woman of very tender heart and
generous nature and a born nurse. There was
nothing that she would not do, nothing that
she had that was too good, for a Confederate
soldier. She, my sister and myself gave up
our beds and slept upon a mattress in the par-
lor. There were at one time 14 sick and
wounded soldiers in our house, and as fast as
an}' left or died, others were brought in from
the hospital by Dr. Garnett. None were ever
turned away — all were warmly welcomed and
hospitably entertained. One of the wounded
was Captain Boiling, a Virginian, who was
shot just above the knee. His leg was am-
putated by Dr. Garnett and he died of pyemia.
On his entreaty, my mother stayed by him
during the operation, although she fainted at
the sight of it. The limb was buried with his
body as he had requested. Another of the
wounded was Captain Bowie, of Maryland.
He was brought from the hospital suffering
with pyemia and was covered with abscesses,
as many as 32 at one time. My mother bathed
and syringed them faithfully, although they
were excessively offensive. He was sick for
many weeks and finally died. These were the
only deaths that occurred among the soldiers at
our house. We had other cases of typhoid
fever, dj'sentery, etc., and all received the ut-
most care and kindness from tis all. It was
my duty to sit and keep the flies off' them and
give them water, crushed ice, etc. Captains
Bowie and Boiling left rings and locks of hair
for relatives which my mother delivered after
the war.

My father was a large land and slave-owner,
possessing five plantations and 250 slaves. All
were swept away by the war and by a dis-
honest executor. He was a kind and indulgent
master, looking closely after the health and
morals of his slaves. When one was married,
it was always done in our parlor and there
were always a wedding cake and presents. He
never would trade or sell them. And so, they
were devoted to him and absolutely trust-
worthy. W^hen he had to leave home in 1861,
the farms and our home in Smithfield were
left in their care. They were carefulh' trained
as mechanics, cooks, house servants, etc., and

OLD MARYLAND.

were always in demand. Each family had its
cabin, garden, pigs and fowls, etc., and there
were rewards for good conduct and industr}-
at the end of the year. With such help, farm-
ing and housekeeping were easy. Our pantry
and smoke house were always full and our table
groaned with every dish and delicacy known
to the A'irginia housekeeper. We entertained
lavishly. We were always ready for guests
and it was a common occurrence for m_v father
to bring in to dinner a group of his friends
unannounced, even twenty at a time when Court
was in session.

Isaac was mv father's coachman, his con-
stant and trusted body-servant. A\'henever
he was away, to Isaac was entrusted the care
of the famih', the responsibility for wife and
children. Armed with a brace of pistols, he
slept in front of my mother's door. Both
Isaac and Mammy refused their freedom when
offered to them, preferring to remain in sla-
very under this beloved and kindly master.
When my father died he left all his clothing to
Isaac.

x'Vbout 35 of our servants accompanied us to
Richmond. Those who were not needed begged
not to be left, being in great fear of the Yankees,
who had treated them roughly on account of
their faithfulness to us. They became really a
great burden to my mother, who was in no
condition to bear the expense of them, having
lost everything. They clung to us until we left
Richmond for Baltimore in lS(i(), when positions
for them were secured among our friends.

My Mammy, whose name was Lydia, was tall
and slender. She always wore a black dress
and a large white apron, with a bandana hand-
kerchief around her head and a white hand-
kerchief crossed over her breast. Her aprons
and kerchiefs were beautifully laundered and
spotless.

She was devoted to me and called me her
"baby." Her sympathies were with the South
and she was as much interested in caring for
the sick and wounded Confederates as we were.
I visited Richmond about four years after the
war. and this dear old creature gave me a lunch-
eon at her house, to which all of my relations
were invited. The appointments were all first
class as she had borrowed from different mem-
bers of the family everything necessary to make

the table complete. It was covered with •&
damask cloth and upon this was spread the
most sumptuous repast in true Southern style —
fried chicken, waffles, beaten biscuits, croquets,
pickles, salad and coffee. For desert we had
ice cream and home-made cake. She was an
excellent cook, indeed she was gifted in every-
thing. During the repast she stood behind my
chair and waited upon me herself. There were
about fifteen of us seated at the table. The
whole time I was in Richmond she insisted on
doing my washing and ironing and would let
no one touch my clothes but herself, and when
she brought them in they were as white as snow.
When I went to the boat to leave for Balti-
more, she was there with a basket filled with
a delicious lunch.

Like all such persons, Mammy was addicted
to the use of long and incongruous words, which
were very amusing. I wish I could reproduce
some of her curious sayings, but they have
escaped me. I remember that she called perspi-
ration "buzbilation." I caught up many of her
expressions and used to astonish the Baltimore
people when I came here with my eccentricities
of speech.

The death of Stonwall Jackson was a great
IjIow to the people of Richmond, as of the whole
South. When the news arrived nearly every-
one was in tears and one could hear sobs all
around, so that it might have been supposed
by a stranger that all had lost near relatives.
Many thought that our cause was lost. The
starvation parties and dancing, in fact all
gaiety ceased. The body vvas brought to the
capitol and lay there in state. Everybody went
to see it. I was not tall enough to look into
the coffin, but General Duff Green held me up
so that I could see the face of our idolized hero.
It looked' thin but perfectly natural, as I remem-
ber it. (To be continued.)

Provost Thomas Fell will leave for his west-
ern trip to the University of Wisconsin, on the
20th instant, and will return to Baltimore on
the 2(ith.

June, 1913.

THE COMMENCEMENT.

The Commencement was held at the Lyric
Theatre, at 4 P. M., May 31. The exercises
began with prayer by the Rt. Rev. John Gardner
Murray, D. D., Bishop of Maryland. The instal-
lation of the new Provost, Thomas Fell, Ph. D.,
LL.D., D.C.L., President of St. .John's Col-
lege, followed. Judge Henry Stockbridge, the
acting Provost since the death of the previous
occupant of that office — Mr. Bernard Carter —
announced the election of Dr. Fell by the Re-
gents, and the conversion of the position into
a salaried office with the usual duties and auth-
ority attached to the office.

Dr. Fell was presented by Mr. Philemon H.
Tuck, of the Board of Regents, with a sketch of
his career, a eulogy of his achievements as Pres-
ident of St. John's and a description of his
qualifications for the office. The new Provost
then read his inaugural address.

Following this came the address to the Grad-
uates by his Excellency, Governor Phillips Lee
Goldsborough, in which a State University em-
bracing the various colleges of Maryland was
advocated, under State control and assisted by
State appropriations, the Western idea of the
State University being taken as a model.

The aegrees were conferred by the Provost
upon the graduates of the various departments
in succession, the Governor handing out the
diplomas to their recipients, as they filed past
him on the stage.

Next came the honorary degrees, of LL.D.,
conferred upon Governor Gold.sborough and up-
on former Governor Edwin Warfield, and of
D. Sc, conferred upon Professor John C. Hem-
meter. Governor Goldsborough was presented
by Judge James P. Gorter, Mr. AVarfield, by
Judge John C. Rose and Professor Hemmeter,
by Professor D. M. R. Culbreth.

The distribution of Prizes and the benedic-
tion by the Bishop concluded the ceremonies of
the day, a day of note in the annals of the
institution. The St. John's prizemen will re-
ceive their honors at the special commencement
of that department to be held at Annapolis on
June IS. Those of the Department of Medicine
were University Prize (Gold Medal), Dr. Jesus
Maria Buch Portuondo, of Santiago, Cuba ; Cer-
tificates of Honor, Drs. Hamilton J. Slusher,
Va., Claudius Abijah Hayworth, N. C, Charles
Reid Edwards, Md., W. Frank Gemmill, Pa.,

ment of Dentistry, the University Prize (Gold
Medal) was awarded to Dr. Arthur Louis
Strenge, of Mass., with honorable mention to
Dr. LeRoy David Brown, Fla. The other dis-
tinctions in this Department are given in the De-
partment notes. The Gold Medal for General

bestowed upon us, we would discharge faith-
fully and well all the obligations growing out of
our relationship to thee and to each other ; and
we pray that to this end thou wilt direct us in
all our doings with thy most gracious favor and
further us with thy continual help that in all
our work begun, continued and ended in thee,
we may glorify thy holy Name and profitably
serve our fellowmen.

We pray thy blessing upon our country, our
commonwealth and our community. Be with
all in authority over us in legislative, executive
and judicial affairs, and may their every duty
be discharged in thy fear and wisdom.

May the grace of thy knowledge prevail in
the schools and colleges of our land. Direct and
guide those who administer gt)vernment and
discipline there, and instil obedience and dili-
gence in the mind of those instructed.

Wilt thou look with special favor this day
upon the affairs of the University of Maryland.
We thank thee for the good this Institution has
done and continues to do ; and pray thee for an
increased continuance of the same. To this end
wilt thou take under thy immediate personal
direction thy servant whose installation as gov-
erning head of this Institution we are this hour
to accomplish. May he not onlv by thy wisdom
have grace to perceive and know the things he
ought to do, but by thy strength also have power
successfully to fulfill the same.

And so for those who with him stay no less
than for those who go out from their places to-
day to the love and labor of the active duties of
life. May each and every one be a contributor
to the supreme worth of the world's work both
for time and eternity.

And as for these, so for us all. Oh thou Omni-
Dotent One, give us of thy power; Oh, thou
Omniscient One, enable us to discern truth and
choose between the evil and the good ; Oh thou

REMARKS OF HON. HENRY STOCK-
BRIDGE, ACTING PROVOST, AT THE
OPENING OF THE COMMENCEMENT
CEREMONIES AND THE INSTALLA-
TION OF DR. THOMAS FELL.
The year which today brings to a close has
been an eventful one in the history of this Uni-
versity. Scarcely had the doors closed upon
our last Academic year when we were called
on to mourn the loss of one who for many years,
with honor to himself and profit to this Insti-
tution, had filled the high place of its Provost.
The life of Bernard Carter, his interest in and
labors on behalf of this University, need no
word at this time from me. A fitting
tribute, far more eloquent than any which I
could pronounce, was paid to him and his mem-
ory at the exercises on our last Academic Day.
Not long after his death the Regents of this
LTniversity addressed themselves to the respon-
sible and delicate task of the selection of his
successor. A Committee was appointed which
for a number of months carefully considered the
matter in all of its various aspects, and their
labors culminated in the selection of one whom
it will be my pleasure in a few moments to
present you.

In the making of the selection there was more
to be considered than the mere matter of the
choice of an individual. For some time senti-
ment has been crystallizing in the direction, that
the great need of the University was that the
position of its Provost should be something more
than one of dignity and honor, that such officer
should by his personal attention, closely super-
vise the executive administration of the various
departments, thereby infusing in each not mere-
Iv a harmonious operation, but a bringing of the
departments into closer touch, creating that mu-
tual interdependence whereby each should be-
come an aid to all the others.

That this has been accomplished in the selec-
tion made is the hope and belief of the members
of the Board of Regents, and they feel that the

events which have taken place during the year
amply justify this confidence. Already one of
the Medical Schools of this City, heretofore in-
dependent, has been consolidated with the Med-
ical Department of this University, and that
union will be an accomplished fact in every re-
spect when the doors of the University open in
the Fall, ^^'hile not at liberty at this time to
use any names, I may be permitted to say, that
still other consolidations have been discussed,
and while it will not yet do to say that they
are probable, they are certainly within the range
of the possibilities of the near future.

I now have great pleasure in presenting to this
audience, Dr. Thomas Fell, the Provost elect
of the University of Maryland.

ADDRESS OF PROVOST THOMAS FELL,
Ph.D., LL.D., D.C.L., AT THE INSTAL-
LATION CEREMONIES, MAY 31st, 1913.

Reverently, and yet enthusiastically, I accept
the office to which you have called me.

It is an office of great honor and dignity; also
one of great responsibility, and I pledge myself
to do my utmost to faithfully fulfill the duties
of the position.

I need not dwell upon the grandeur and no-
bility of mind of those who have preceded me
in this office for this has been well done on pre-

vious occasions, nor need I emphasize the record
of achievements by the University in the past.
To what she has already done for Maryland, her
sons now with us can amply testify.

This year commemorates the centennial of the
opening of the University in Baltimore but for
two hundred and twenty-five years the torch of
learning has been kept alive by the sons of Mary-
land, — founders, progenitors and alumni of this
great L'niversity.

Hither have come the sons of other States,
as well, each to light his taper at the sacred
flame, and in the hands of many a one his taper's
slender flame has beamed ever more and more
steadily and brightly, until it has reached far
beyond the confines of the State, even beyond
the limits of the Country.

But at the present time there is needed in
Maryland a more systematic adjustment of
primary, secondary and higher education to meet
the needs of the people of the State.

In an address recently made by President
Lowell in this City he referred to the necessity
of getting youths to enter college at an earlier
age than now prevails.

Within the past quarter of a century profes-
sional courses in the United States have been
lengthened by a full year.

Within the same period the Preparatory or
High School has been forced by additions to the
requirements for entrance to College to add at
least a year to its course of study.

Meanwhile the four years' term for the college
course of study remains unabridged, and the
result is that the average young man cannot so
much as enter the practice of his profession
before the age of twenty-five or twenty-six years.
It is only by means of a closer relation between
the College and the Professional School that a
solution of the difficulty can be brought about,
which can assure to the graduate an unquestioned
standing in the world of scholarship.

The modern world has been recently touched
and transformed by the spirit of Democracy.
A new test is now applied for the worth of
life, the test of service. A man must be not
only good but good for something. Precisely
the same test must be applied to education. How
much is it worth? Many a man to-day thinks
himself educated when, in reality, he is a mere

OLD MARYLAND.

survivor of a prehistoric type among the needs
of the modern world.

Education should lead forth the mind to an
acquaintance with three things : acts, facts and
the relation of these to each other. It is the
last of these that it is most difficult to master.

The greatest lessons man has to learn are not
those of grammar and mathematics, of modern
or ancient science, except as these all help to
make him know himself and his relation to the
whole circle of the universe.

A University should study and learn the needs
of the State which it serves, and it should be not
only an intellectual, but a social power in the
community — it should wish and strive for the
general betterment and uplift of the people.

We must see that the child is given the general
training of a modern being by enlightening our
teachers.

Men and women are to be fitted for some
worthy vocation in life. Agriculture and the co-
ordinate industries of distribution and commerce
must naturally be our chief material concern.
Farming should be made a profession with a
scientific basis laid even in the grade school. The
care of women that they should be given proper
educational opportunities and that their lives
especially in the country, be made brighter and
more spacious is in the heart of our ideal.

The realization of the community of interest
between the farmer who produces and the busi-
ness man who distributes the food, provides
banking and transportation and sends in the
manufactured supplies must be impressed upon
every mind.

And so there are several very distinct types
of learning ofifered to our American youth.

There is a kind of education that seeks to meet
the vague requirements of mere respectability.

There is the vocational type which fits for the
ordinary life.

There is the so called business man's course
thought to be sufficient for young men who wish
to prepare for the routine of commerce and
trade. ' ' ' T^

There is the professional school where such
knowledge and learning as are necessary for
him who proposes to devote himself to one of
the learned professions may be had.

There is the learning of the specialist who
selects one restricted field and makes himself an
expert or master in that limited range of know-
ledge.

And here, in Baltimore, with its libraries, its
museums, its location as the natural gateway to
the Atlantic from the West and from the At-
lantic to the West, is there not opportunity for
a vast expansion upon the lines marked out?

What is the picture of an effective, modern
life? Is it not the picture of a river flowing
through a thirsty plain? Up in the hills in the
simple school house where the stream first rises
is the task of education, the Cjuiet fidelity of the
teacher's work.

Then, as the stream goes flowing on to the
plain below, the fertilizing power advances until
it has made the desert to blossom as a rose.

To give the spring to the river, the water to
the world, the school to the State, that is th ■
task which confronts us here.

These schools and colleges, established in
colonial time, pursuing the even tenor of their
way through years of quiet work, often through
periods of dark discouragement and care, yet
often illumined by brilliant flashes of the light
that was steadily waxing stronger and stronger,
ever progressing toward the full glow of mid-
day — do they not appeal to all that is generous
and noble within us? Shall we suffer tlicm to
languish for want of necessary means to carry
on their work?

To secure the good will of our neighbor must
not be our only aim. In turn we must do our
part to promote closer relation with the primary
school of the State, that by means of a perfected
and rounded system of general education, the
whole mass of the people may be thrilled and
uplifted, until every vocation in life shall have
received fresh impulse toward higher standards
and ideals, for the good of the whole community.

ADDRESS OF HIS EXCELLENCY HON.

PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH,

GOVERNOR OF MARYLAND AND

CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY,

MAY 31st.

The Provost of the University of Maryland,
the Board of Trustees, the Gentlemen Members
of the Faculty, Students, Ladies and Gentlemen :

As we stand here today in the atmosphere of
higher education, our imagination is moved and
stimulated to consider what it all means. We
are hardly content to fold our hands and stand
agap, afraid to express ourselves for fear we
should find words madequate, but rather do we
dare to give expression to the thoughts that sug-
gest themselves as befitting this occasion.

What a terrible thing indeed is ignorance. It
is a source of endless human woes. It drops a
mystic curtain over facts ; through it v\'e see
truth obscured and distorted ; it produces a
gloom and darkness upon the individual life.
The ignorant are as one blind, standing groping
helplessly among objects they can never see nor
understand; lifting high their feet to clear some
imaginary obstacle and fail to see what is at
hand, their hearts filled with terror at imaginary
dangers or those that are miles away, or, like
ships in some dense fog, ringing bells and toot-
ing whistles vainly attempting to locate them-
selves, and passing ships ; always uneasy and
uncertain as to their whereabouts ; proceeding
slowly, cautiously, uncertainly and dangerously.

Indeed an examination of the objects of his-
tory will disclose the fact that most of the cal-
amities that visit the earth seem to have been
produced by ignorance inexplicable.

How glorious is education ! It is like the lift-
ing of a fog or mist, enabling us to go ahead at

full speed with the full consciousness of our
bearings, blowing whistles only in salute, or to
indicate a right of way.

If this be so, how great a debt indeed does
the State owe its citizens to provide for them the
knowledge necessary to enable them to do the
work intelligently and efficiently which the State
exacts of them. We may differ among ourselves
as to how far this debt may go — whether it
should confine itself to only primary education
or even extend itself into secondary education.
And there are those among us who believe the
State still owes a duty to provide for those de-
sirous of a collegiate training, in order that they
may better perform the broad duty which they
may in after life assume or have thrust upon
them.

It may be conceded, and indeed I believe it
is generally conceded, that in the matter of prim-
ary education our State ranks among the fore-
most ; and under the High School Act of 1910,
we can boast that we are rapidly taking our
place in secondary education among the fore-
most States of the Union and other countries
of the world. But when we speak of collegiate
education, can it be said that we are doing what
we should, and in the proper way? It is true
that we have many handicaps to overcome. In the
early days of our independent life, when travel
was more complicated and difficult, the means
of communication were few and slow. Owing
to the geographical and topographical character
of our State, it seemed important to establish
various schools for higher education in different
sections or parts of the State, to foster their
growth and divide the resources of the State de-
voted to that purpose among three or more inde-
pendent schools or colleges, thereby more than
triplicating the resources which were at our dis-
posal, and so scattering our facilities as to elim-
inate our effectiveness.

Some of the newer States have profited by
the experience of the old. They have had their
birth and developement in an age of easy and
ready communication and transportation, and
have therefore centralized their resources, and
have been able to accomplish more than we have.
But that does not mean that we shall not adjust
ourselves to new conditions ; wipe from the slate
our losses and start anew.

It would, indeed, be a glorious enterprise to
take advantage of the present excellent educa-

OLD MARYLAND.

tional facilities of our State and so weld them
together as to make one great University. It is,
indeed, an unfortunate condition that of the six
Colleges of the State only one is listed as a
College by the Carnegie Foundation, by the Fed-
eral Bureau of Education, and the standard
adopted by our own State Board of Education,
and that one is endowed by private fortune and
bears the name of its founder.

It is true that in the past few years one of
these other Colleges has made great improve-
ment and is fast advancing to a rank of which
we may be proud.

We may divide the work of the University
into -four distinct classes, or, we might say, only
two classes ; first, the academic or literary, — sec-
ond, the professional and vocational. The pro-
fessional and vocational have divided themselves
into the pursuit of pure and applied sciences,
and I may use the term pure and applied agri-
culture.

If we could weld all these purposes together
in one great management, and lend to it the
support of the State, would it not be an accom-
plishment of which we all could be proud?
Eliminating the appropriations for buildings and
improvements, the .State of Maryland spends or
contributes to the support of these Colleges for
the year 11)1:5 the sum of $260,193. While per-
haps but comparatively a small sum to what it
spends on primary and secondary education, it
would be none the less helpful if devoted to one
great enterprise under the direction and control
of the State. This done, and success having
followed its doing, what an incentive there
would be for much more generous contributions
or appropriations to be made by the State to
this new and enlarged University.

The people of the State of AVisconsin give two
millions of dollars per annum to their Univer-
sity, and they spend $200,000 annually in ex-
tension work. The State of Wisconsin recog-
nizes that money thus appropriated to her great
educational institution comes back to them in a
manifold manner, when they are brought, as is
the case, into such close relationship with all of
the people of her State. The lesson for the east-

ern universities and colleges is, said a gentleman
writing to me the other day, that "The day of
exclusiveness in the matter of education is past.
Democracy demands its full share of the benefits,
if it pays the taxes, and universities must come
into closer contact with the life of the people."

When the various so-called colleges petition
the Legislature for aid, they, no doubt, justify
their conscience by believing that they do good
work, but when an institution can go to the
Legislature and say that it does the best work,
— comparing favorably with work done in
the progressive universities of other States — it
is not a petition when they ask for help, — it be-
comes a demand upon the State which it is
bound to honor.

When I say this, it is not without what I con-
sider true patriotism. When one boasts that he
comes from a country greater than others, it
seems to me that he misses the point, as it im-
plies dishonor to one who comes from a country
less magnificent. One loves his State, be it little
or be it great, for "Be there one with soul so
dead, who never to himself hath said, this is my
own, my native land?"

We do well to study the beauty and achieve-
ments of sister states; we do better when we try
to improve through that study our own condi-
tions.

It is not enough to see the errors and the
faults of the past; it should be our effort and
our aim to remedy them. We should go care-
fully, in order to hold fast to that which we have,
that is good ; we should go vigorously and ener-
getically in order that the next generation shall
not miss the fruit of our observation and our
effort. In paying the debt which we owe, we
can take but one of two courses : Either our
efficiency must be doubled, and we produce twice
as much for the amount expended, or else, we
must reduce the amount we spend for what we
can get. Anything else is failure-. It should be
our endeavor to see where we can find greatness,
progress and achievement, and struggle to make
that equipment ours.

Having such hopes and aims in view, and
determining so far as it is in my power to ac-
complish them, it is my purpose at a near day,
to appoint a Commission of leading business
men and educators, and more of the former than
the latter — to study thoroughly and recommend
a plan for the entire revision of the educational

system of Maryland to be sent by me to the
General Assembly of Maryland when it shall
convene in the year 1914. Progress in educa-
tional development is needed in Maryland. Let
us undertake the task, with a determination to
achieve a broad measure of success.

Gentlemen of the Graduating Classes of the
various Departments of the University of Mary-
land, you I would especially congratulate upon
having succeeded in completing the courses of
study provided, and availing yourselves of the
opportunities given of associating with your fel-
low students, and the Faculties of your several
Departments.

You should be and doubtless are, well
equipped to take up the responsibilities of life;
the greatest of which is to serve your fellow-
men and promote the interests of the community
with which you will identify yourselves.

If you keep this firmly in mind, success will
be achieved. I wish you all a life of broad use-
fulness and prosperity.

REMARKS OF JUDGE JOHN C. ROSE, IN

INTRODUCING HIS EXCELLENCY,

GOVERNOR GOLDSBOROUGH, FOR

THE DEGREE OF LL.D.

And I, too, am honored by the command of
the Regents to present to you one whom they
deem worthy of their honorary degree of Doc-
tor of the Laws. He whom I am to name is
of high rank — the highest within this sovereign
commonwealth of ours. The University of
Maryland, in common with all good citizens,
honors and respects the chief magistrate of the
State. With them it trusts that those who shall
fill that office shall be worthy of it. The Govern-
or of Maryland as such needs no decoration other
than that which he has received from the suf-
frages of his fellow citizens. He requires no
title other than the simple and dignified one
which the tradition of more than two centuries
has attached to the place he fills — "His Excel-
lency, the Governor;" nor does this university
confer its degrees upon officials. It bestows
them upon men.

RESINOL CHEMICAL COMPANY, Baltimore, Md.

The Constitution of our State and the tradi-
tions of our people make tenures of office but
episodes, though important ones, in the lives of
our most distmguished men. The degrees of
this University are more lasting. The man holds
them after he has returned into the ranks of his
fellow-citizens.

Universities outlive countless generations of
men. Those who are now Regents of this uni-
versity are the custodians of its fame. They
will be responsible, so long as it shall last, for
the wisdom and the discretion which they have
shown in bestowing its honors. They may not,
therefore, give a degree to anyone who is not
in himself worthy of it.

A doctor is a teacher. When we make one a
Doctor of Laws, we certify that he is fitted to
teach the law.

The lessons in the law which the American
people most need are that a law which is not
enforced is worse than useless, and that whether
a law shall be enforced or not depends in larg-
est part upon the make-up of the men who in
high place and in low are entrusted with its
enforcement.

We believe that he whom I am about to pres-
ent has graphically taught these lessons. He has
brought home to all of us how much may be
done for the public weal by those who faithfully
and energetically use rightly the powers the law
has given to them.

I therefore, on behalf of the Regents of the
University of Maryland, present to you, Mr.
Provost, for the degree of Doctor of Laws, one
who has already taught the laws — Phillips Lee
Goldsborough.

Speaking of his pet project of a State Univer-
sity, Provost Fell said: "I think it was about
seven years ago when I had the pleasure of
traveling down to Ocean City with ex-Governor
Edwin Warfield. On that occasion we dis-
cussed together the matter of higher education
in the State of Maryland and I think it was as
a result of that conversation that I derived very
much the inspiration that I now possess."

Our Associate Editor, Mr. Calvert Magntdcr,
has carried oiT the highest honors this year at
St. John's. Mr. E. T. Fell, a son of the Provost,
comes second. In the oratorical contest at the
Peace Conference at Lake Mohawk, New York,
on May loth, to which we have referred, Mr.
Magruder represented the Eastern States and
won the second prize of $75. Blanshard, of the
University of Michigan, took the first prize, $100,
and Welsh, of Knox College, 111., came third
with a $50 prize.

elected the following year and held this office
until 1881.

1. In 1881 he was elected !o the State Sen-
ate to fill the unexpired term of the late Sena-
tor Gorman.

5. In 1883 he was re-elected to the Senate,
and during the session of 1886 he was chosen
President of that body. He presided with such
fairness and impartiality, that no appeal was
ever taken from his decision.

6. In 1886, President Cleveland appointed
him surveyor of the port of Baltimore, which
office he filled during President Cleveland's ad-
ministration.

7. In 1890 he founded the Fidelity Trust and
Deposit Company of Maryland. He was a pi-
oneer in this line of work. This Institution may
be said to have made Baltimore City the centre
of this character of business — whose growth has
become world-wide. Not only has it been of
great commercial value to the people of this
State, but it has given safety and security to all
who are dependent upon others for the manage-
ment of their property and affairs. The physical
manifestation of the success of this undertaking
is indicated by the magnificent granite building
at the corner of Charles and Lexington Streets
that towers to the sky.

8. Having placed this enterprise on a safe
foundation, he again returned to the public ser-
vice. In 1903 he was elected to the highest of-
fice within the gift of the people. His admin-
istration reflected credit and honor alike upon
himself and the state. In his conduct of that
office he was guided by the principle enunciated
by the President from whom he had some years
before received an appointment — that public of-
fice is a public trust. He governed for the ben-
efit of all the people. He was not a man's man,
he was a "Statesman."

9. When he retired from the Governorship
he resumed his work as President of the great
corporation he had built up, and today is occu-
pied in managing its affairs. He is associated

useful and honorable life entitles you to it, and

REMARKS OF PROFESSOR DAVID M. R.
CULBRETH IN PRESENTING DR.
JOHN C. HEMMETER FOR THE DE-
GREE OF D. So.
Ladies and Gentlemen:

It has been an ancient custom for Universities
on festal days to honor men of learning by the
bestowal of personal tokens of admiration in
recognition of their achievements in the field of
either literature, art, science, medicine, law or
theology. In conformity with this usage, the
Regents of the University of Maryland have
caused a mandate to be issued, directing that on
this occasion, a degree honoris causa, be con-
ferred upon one whose name will now be pres-
ented to the Provost.

Mr. Provost : I have the honor and prixilege
to present for the degree of Doctor of Science
the name of Dr. John Cohn Hemmeter, Profes-
sor of Physiology in this University. Dr. Hem-
meter was born in this city just 50 years ago;
was sent abroad at 10, for 5 years, to master
languages and the rudiments of science ; entered
Baltimore City College at 15 ; graduating at 18 ;
spent a year in the Fresenius Chemical Labora-
tory, Wiesbaden, Germany ; entered the Medical
Department of this University at 19, graduating
at 21 ; became Resident Physician for 3 years at
Bayview, our largest hospital ; entered Johns
Hopkins University at 23, graduating at 27 ; ac-
cepting physiology, biology and chemistry as
major studies. He has devoted his energies
since then chiefly to diseases of the stomach and
intestines and their co-ordinate relationship in
processes of digestion, with the result of making
new discoveries in disease and cure, and contri-
buting more than a hundred technical articles to
foreign and domestic journals, many finding
translation into various languages and admission

OLD MARYLAND.

into works of eminent authors, who gratefully
acknowledge his researches, especially on the
physiological effects of alcohol, digitalis and
ergot, and the interdependence of gastric juice
and salivary gland secretions, as most logical
and conclusive. He has published "Pathology
and Treatment of Organic Diseases of the Stom-
ach," 1896; "Diseases of the Stomach," 1897;
"Diseases of the Intestines," 2 vols., 1901-02 ;
"Manual of Practical Physiology," 1912; each
recognized at date of issue as the most compre-
hensive and important treatise upon its respec-
tive subject in the English language. He has
inherited, apart from medical and scientific apt-
ness, musical inspiration that yields graceful
piano technique and compositions of commenda-
ble order. His writings, publications, professional
attainments, membership and activities in nu-
merous societies and organizations, at home
and abroad, have won an international reputa-
tion that places him among the foremost author-
ities on this side of the Atlantic. He received
the honorary degree of LL.D. from St. John's
College, in 1905 ; was elected member of Imper-
ial' German Academy of National Sciences in
1912, and was appointed Professor of Physiolo-
gy in the University of Maryland in 1901, a
position he continues to fill with distinction.

For these very many creditable milestones, it
gives me great pleasure on behalf of the Regents,
to present him for the aforesaid degree.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICINE.

Mr. William H. Scruggs, Sr., has accepted an
appointment to the State T.B. Hospital at Sabill-
asville, Md., tendered him by Prof. Gordon
Wilson.

Kappa Psi, Phi Sigma Kappa and the Nu
Sigma Nu Fraternities have decided to keep op-
en house this summer.

Allbutt's System of Medicine, recommended
by Prof. Gordon Wilson as the "one best bet," is
now in the Library.

Prof. Zueblin, taking advantage of the effects
examinations have upon metabolism, has been
conducting experiments on urine obtained from
the Seniors after each exam. No doubt the re-
sults of his investigations will be most interest-
ing.

Monday was the night. Behind closed doors,
the august Faculty were deciding the Fates.
Outside a mass of students had congregated — as
silent as the night, but their souls in turmoil, in
doubt, fearful expectancy. The Seniors sat
around, this was the time for which they had
long been waiting — yet perhaps the full meaning
of that little slip, which but three words, enough
to spell failure or success, had not come home
■'till then. For the most part, they were silent,
heir faces Sphinx-like, interrogatory, thought-
ful, portraying the feelings of the soul within.
It was plain that thev were nervous — the smile
that now and then flitted over their faces was
a saJ, sad smile. One broke out into song, but
there came no answering notes, and the voice,
as if a heart oppressed could not lie, grew weak-
er and weaker, and in the midst of the line, the
song was choked. At last the doors were thrown
open — soon the pages of mvstery were to be
opened. The Seniors crowded in — together with
manv of the lower classmen, the latter more out
of curiositv and to be among the first to wish
their friends success. The grim old hall seemed

OLD MARYLAND.

to be reverenced that night,— all was silence ;
the boisterousness, the shrieks and peals of
laughter that heretofore made merry student
gatherings were gone. Soon came a greater
hush, — the Dean entered, — the time was at hand.
Then as the Dean announced the most success-
ful candidate, joy unloosed her fetters, pande-
monium reigned, — yet as down the list of honor
men he read, silence once more held her own,
for hearts were sad. Then came the envelopes,
— what was within? — was the soul's grim ques-
tion. The names were called — with trembling
hands the cards were received. Some of the
men, more fearful it seems, than others, thrust
them hurriedly into their pockets and scurried
away. Others thought awhile, the hands trem-
bled more visibly now, the cards were with-
drawn and then their faces told the tale. One,
I remember, after receiving his card, walked up
two or three steps. There he paused, as if un-
certain whether to read it or not. It took but
a moment to decide — and then? The hand
shook like that of a man in the fire of tremens,
the face ashened, tears glistened in his eyes.
Like one turned into marble for a moment he
stood, and then, heaving a deep sigh, hurriedly
thrusting the envelope into his pocket, he stum-'
bled up the steps. There a friend stopped him ;
the friend asked a question, — there was but one
question asked that night. The answer? A shake
of the head, a voice choking, a heart near break-
ing, cried out, "I didn't make it." Then he was
gone. The man interested me. I asked my seat
companion concerning him. I was told he was a
good man, a hard student, yet — . My compan-
ion shook his head and sighed ; the sigh was
answered in my heart. Again I took notice of
the men. One, as his name was called, buried
his face in his hands. A friend took his card, —
1 saw him smile as he read. Then he pressed
the hand of the fearful one, and the latter know-
ing then that all was well, in the joyful madness
of the moment cried, embraced his friend and
kissed him. Men were like babies — their hearts
were those of women. Shouts, wild shrieks of
joy resounded — the fight had been won. Hur-
ried footsteps sounded on the stairs, telegrams
were hastily dispatched, friends crowded about
friends, men talked like children. Soon the
building was deserted — no doubt Lady Frumen-
ti was calling to some; others must tell the girl
at home, or a mother. I took a walk over to

the student building, but it was too much for
me; not long did I stay. There I saw a few
dejected mortals, their eyes watery, their faces
sad, pale. With a voice that tried to be cheerful
I told them my feelings, and they with faces ex-
pressionless, looked at me, their lips opened, but
no word came forth, for their hearts were bur-
dened and a heart that is burdened does not
speak. How would they tell their friends of
their failure — what a blow to the fond folks at
home ! How many failed is perhaps now known
— twelve, it is said. For them we must be sorry
in a way, yet truth is truth, and with rare ex-
ception, he who fails has but himself to blame,
tho 'tis hard to say. But has not such a night
a lesson for us all ? Ah ! that night brought
home many a lesson. "Oh, if I could have seen
this years ago," I heard a student cry — and that
cry was echoed in my heart and in the hearts
of all who heard.

We learn that Mr. Hyman Shalowitz, who
took the Freshman year in 1911-12, will re-
turn next year to resume his studies here. He
will arrive the latter part of June. He married
;i Russian lady, a medical graduate of the Uni-
versity of Paris, and has been spending the past
nine months with relatives in Odessa and Balta,
South Russia. Mr. Shalowitz is not only a most
promising student but a famous chess player,
also.

The following members of the Junior Class
received honorable mention at the Commence-
ment, May 31 : — Messrs. Frontis Lentz and A.
M. Patterson.

The Faculty gave the graduates a banquet at
Hyde's, on Howard St., near Franklin, on the
evening of Commencement Day. All were pres-
ent and the occasion was very enjoyable, even
though there was a touch of sadness connected
with the parting of the members of the class and
the faculty.

The table was decorated with red and white
peonies and green ferns, and a rosebud lay be-
side each plate.

During the beginning of the evening and while

the supper was being served, many familiar and
enjoyable selections were rendered, after which
Dr. Culbreth, the toastmaster, called on the var-
ious professors for speeches. The presidents of
both junior and senior classes responded, also
several of the young ladies.

Dr. Cole spoke on behalf of the ladies, thank-
ing both professors and students for their kind-
ness towards us during our stay at the Univer-
sity.

The faculty invited all the graduates back to
the school at all times, whether they came to
seek information or to make a social call. They
declared they would ever be ready to recci,-
each and every one of us with outstretched arms.
They wished the graduates to leave the school
with the kindest feelings towards their Alma
Mater, and the members of the faculty, senti-
ments which I am sure all of us heartily enter-
tained, even before they were mentioned.

We were reminded that we were just begin-
ning to be students and that we should still dil-
igently prosecute the work we had undertaken
by perusal of reference books and pharmaceuti-
cal journals.

Professor Caspari in his speech referred to
drreat pharmacists whom he had met — Squibb,
Thompson and others — men who have long since
passed away. He hoped there would be enough
£rood material among the present graduates to
furnish a teacher to take his place at some future
day. We hope for the good material among our
graduates, but where, pray tell us, could we find
one with the world-wide reputation, as both
teacher and writer, of our esteemed and honored
head of the faculty? But one thin? all iVe
graduates can say, and that is. that in their pur-
suit of knowledge in pharmac3^ they have met
here one who is truly great, and who has done
much for the uplifting of the professional side of
pharmacy. And, if there is such a thing as
spirits communicating from the other world, we
will be sure in years to come, that our dear old
professor will be lending a listening ear for the
advancement made along pharmaceutical lines in
this.

, There was a little sadness connected with the
final farewells, but all will no doubt keep the
pleasant memories of this occasion in mind for
a long time to come. A. A. S.

ADDRESS OF MR, PHILEMON H. TUCK,
OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS, ON THE
PRESENTATION OF DR. THOMAS FELL,
THE NEW PROVOST, MAY 31ST.

Mr. Chairman, gentlemen of the Board of Re-
gents of the University of Maryland, members
of the Board of St. John's College, gentlemen of
the student body, ladies and gentlemen :

No small responsibility rested upon the Board
of Regents of this University when the death of
Mr. Carter occurred about one year ago. For
eighteen years he had faithfully served this Uni-
versity. All of us remember his magnificent
presence. We all know that for nearly a quarter
of a century he was the acknowledged leader of
the Bar of Maryland, and with the great graces
of his person, there was the courtesy and courage
of the cavalier, because his blood traced back to
the Lords Baltimore, and with that was coupled
the gentleness of the woman, and behind that
and above all, was the humility of the Christian,
as he all his life had lived up to the faith which
he had learned at his mother's knee.

Now the task before us, as I have said, was
an important one, because, looking back into the
history of this University, all of the provosts who
had preceded Mr. Carter were men of high
standing in this community. The first one, Rob-
ert Smith — whose name, I am afraid, had other-
wise been lost because the name of Smith is so
common — was yet possibly more distinguished
than any of them. He had been a senator in our
State Senate, a member of our House of Dele-
gates ; he was a member of the first electoral
college that elected General Washington presi-
dent of this country; he was the Secretary of tha.
Navy in the Cabinet of Mr. Jefferson ; later he
was the Secretary of State and again the Secre-
tary of the Navy and finally an Attorney-Gen-
eral of the United States. And even after hold-

ing all these offices, he was the Chancellor of
Maryland ; he was appointed a judge of the Dis-
trict Court, as our Superior Court was then
called, and was also a minister to the court of
St. Petersburg.

Following him came Bishop James Kemp, and
of him I need not speak, because he is known to
every churchman in the Episcopal communion.
And afterwards next in order, was the great
Chief Justice Taney, and somehow I have a great
kindliness for him because in his autobiography
he stated that Annapolis, my old home, was the
Athens of America, and as you know, he was
second to none of all the Chief Justices of the
United States ; in that Court he served for more
than a quarter of a century. Then the next pro-
vost was Ashton Alexander, of whom I do not
know much. Following came John P. Kennedy,
a very distinguished man who had served the
State most faithfully in Congress, was Secretary
of the Navy at one time, and yet I think he is
best remembered by those delightful stories
which we have all read, "Swallow Barn,"
"Horseshoe Robinson" and "Rob of the Bowl,"
and the latter I recommend especially to you
young men of Maryland, because the scene is
laid down in St. Mary's County, where was the
beginning of this great State.

Then followed Mr. Severn Teackle Wallis,
who served longer than any, and I need not say
anything about him to Baltimoreans. He was
ranked, however, with Mr. Steele as the leader
of the Bar of the State, but I think he had more
reputation as an orator, because his satire and
invective were at times almost fierce, as those
at whom he struck will agree.

Now then, with that proud record before us,
as I have said before, the responsibility was a
great one, and the Board of Regents appointed
a committee of five, of which I happened to be

OLD MARYLAND.

the chairman, and we considered this question
most carefully. We fully understood the posi-
tion that this University has held and does hold,
for more than one hundred years, and it is just
as important now, even more so than ever, be-
cause we send out men who go to all parts of
the country, a large number into the rural dis-
tricts where there is suffering that must be re-
lieved ; men in graduating do not, as a rule,
remain in the large cities where the emoluments
are greater and the advantages also easier to be
had.

Li a remarkable address delivered before the
State Bar Association last winter by Doctor
Hugh H. Young, he dwelt — a Hopkins man —
upon what this University had accomplished, and
said that, as he recalled the names of Doctor
Chew, Doctor Christopher Johnston, Doctor
Donaldson, Doctor Miltenberger, Doctor Smith,
the elder and his son, what these medical men
and what the surgeons in the University of
Maryland had done in the days before there
were clinics and laboratories, was almost mar-
velous.

The committee of' five considered the cjuestion
most carefully and it is a pleasure for me to
state, that with unanimity we selected Doctor
Thomas Fell. The report of the committee was
submitted to the Board of Regents and it must
be a satisfaction to Dr. Fell to know that the
vote there again was unanimous. After that it
was necessary to deal with St. John's College, of
which Doctor Fell was President, because he
could not serve here if his duties there would
be at all impaired, and as I happened to be the
only member of the Board of Regents who is
also a member' of the Board of St. John's Col-
lege, I was asked to go there and explain the
situation, and it is gratifying to me to state that
the action of that Board was unanimous. So
that Doctor Fell goes into the office with every
possible compliment that could be bestowed upon
him.

Doctor Fell is an Englishman, born in Liver-
pool. His father was an English officer who was
killed in the Crimean War. He was educated
at the Royal Institution in Liverpool, at the Uni-
versity of London and also .at the University of
Munich, and came to this country in 1884 to
accept the chair of Ancient Languages in the
New Windsor (Maryland) College. In 1886 he
was called to be President of St. John's College.
He came there fully impressed with the impor-
tance of the work. He knew the standard that
had to be maintained, and it required courage,
the English courage, of his fathers, to maintain
that standard. Now he knew that this college
over two hundred years old, was the third in the
United States in point of time. Harvard and
William and Mary only preceding it, and he
knew that as a small college it had influence
equal to that of any small college of the country;
he was fully aware that this small college was
large enough for him to spend on it his life's
work. John Hanson Thomas, whose statue now
adorns the capitol at Washington, claimed by his
admirers to have been the first president of the
United States because he was at one time acting
president of the United States, was an alimmus
of this college, as was also William Pinckney,
and although Pinckney died at the early age of
57, as an orator and lawyer he had no peer in
this country, and his reputation was as great in
England where he was our Minister to the Court
of Saint James.

Coming down a little later, this small college
was large enough to send forth to his lifework
Francis Scott Key. The British, after invading
and burning Washington, returned to their ships
and came down the Patuxent and sailed up to
North Point where they met their Waterloo.
There is a letter in the archives of the College
written by Key to his mother. Key was in the
volunteer service of his country and we all know
how when some stragglers were coming along.
Dr. Beanes thought the English had been unsuc-
cessful and imprisoned two or three. Admiral
Cockburn sent back some of his men and recap-
tured them and took them back to his ship and
Dr. Beanes with them. Key, in order to gain the
freedom of Dr. Beanes, followed and was de-
tained by the British during their attack on Bal-

OLD MARYLAND.

timore. Under these circumstances and while
on the ship, Key wrote the "Star- Spangled Ban-
ner."

Now Mr. Key, as an alumnus of this college,
had a great reputation, not only because he wrote
the "Star-Spangled Banner" and some of the
beautiful hymns in the Episcopal service, but
because he was a very distinguished lawyer, as
shown by the reports of the- Supreme Court of
the United States. At one time he served as
District Attorney for the District of Columbia.

In this same connection, a playmate of mine,
was also a student in that school. Lieutenant
Lockwood, the man who volunteered to go with
the Greely expedition and who reached the
farthest point that an explorer had reached. He
advanced beyond the main body, but laid down
his life, a hero. The United States Government,
always kind and generous to its own, sent a naval
officer there and brought back the body of Lock-
wood, and now it rests in a cemetery on the
Severn near Annapolis, and sometimes when I
go there I visit that cemetery and I stand by the
tomb of my old friend and ponder over the
beautiful epitaph: "The sufferings of this pres-
ent time are not worthy to be compared to the
glory that shall be revealed in us."

Now, ladies and gentlemen. Doctor Fell came
to this college with that record to maintain, a
record that had sent forth the ablest and best
men almost in this country and Annapolis had
been the scene by reason of the location of the
college there, of some very inspiring occasions.

General Washington had a stepson, a student at
the college, George Washington Custis. He had
two nephews there, Fairfax and Lawrence Wash-
ington, and in March, 1791, he visited these boys
in the college and after he left he sent a con-
gratulatory letter (Mr. Tuck here read General
Washington's congratulatory letter).

Later, in 1824, Lafayette came to this country
as the guest of the nation. He came here on a
ship of war of the United States, and one of the
first visits he made was to Annapolis, because,
as I have said, it was then known as the "Athens
of America." There were many festivities ar-
ranged in his honor and many balls given, and
strange to say, all these things happened in the
halls of St. John's College, one ball being given
him there by the citizens of Baltimore and An-
napolis. As he was leaving, he read this address
in reply to the welcome which had been extended
him (Mr. Tuck here read the address).

Only two years ago President Taft visited
Annapolis, when that monument to the French
dead who lie buried there was unveiled by a
grandson of Lafayette, the lady attending him
being a granddaughter of Admiral de Barras and
Admiral De Grasse, who held the British in
check while the battle of Yorktown was being
fought.

Therefore I claim that the record Doctor Fell
found there had to be maintained and it was
and is maintained by him.

The funds of the college were never so low as
in 188(i. Our buildings were not in good repair
and it may be known to some of you that for
four years all the buildings on the college grounds
there had been occupied by sick soldiers of the
Union Army and they were in very poor repair
before then ; our finances were low, the student
body small, and yet he approached it with the
courage — and next to the American courage
there is no courage equal to the courage of the
English — I have referred to. and so the work has
progressed until now our buildings are almost
double in size and certainly more than double in
value. We have three new buildings. Woodward
Hall, Randall Hall and the gymnasium, and Mc-
Dowell Hall is practically new, in fact entirely
new, because it has been rebuilt upon its old
foundations.

OLD MARYLAND.

JSTow^ gentlemen, it is very hard for one, as he
ffd the setting sun, to let an
opportunity go by to say a word of counsel.
This is said only in sympathy. The only word
I have to say to you is courage. I do not mean
the courage only to fight the obstacles that lie
before you, but I mean the courage to go the
right path when you come to the parting of the
ways. As we grow older we always look with
sympathy upon those whose whole life practically
lies before them. This fact was impressed upon
me, I think, more forcibly than ever before, by
an address which I once heard President Garfield
deliver just a few weeks before his death. He
was then the President of the United States.
He had been a major-general in the volunteer
service of his country, had been Speaker of the
House of Representatives and a U. S. Senator
from Ohio, and he said to those young men:
"Whatever honors I have had, whatever posi-
tions I have reached, I would renounce them all
to be where you are, with your faces set to the
future." Within three weeks the assassin had
struck his blow and a few weeks thereafter the
President was dead. He died with the same
fortitude and Christian resignation he had al-
ways manifested on the battle field.

Now, then, I maintain that in no walk of life
ir. courage and optimism more necessary than in
the conduct of educational affairs. It is not only
the soldier who must be brave, but I think the
educator, and especially the educator in a college
or university whose finances are the difficult mat-
ters. I think optimism and courage are the assets
which the Provost most requires, and as I said a
moment ago, he is the son of a man who lost his
life in the service of his country. May I speak
to you just one word about the English courage ?
Some years ago in the cathedral of St. Paul
I stood by the tomb of Chinese Gordon and on
that tomb there were fresh flowers and I was
told that in all the years since his death those
fresh flowers had been placed there every day.
Afterwards, on my visit to Egypt, somehow or

other, this man's career became I can hardly ex-
press to you how interesting. I followed it by
reading and by talking and I think his death is
almost the finest example in the history of cour-
age. You may remember that he died at Khar-
toum. He was not sent there by the government
but went there under the belief that he could
bring the Soudan into subjection by moral power.
As the situation got worse he sent back his sol-
diers and finally they had all gone and Chinese
Gordon was there alone. He knew the hour
would come when the stroke would be made and
on the fatal morning he appeared in the full
dress uniform of his rank, the highest in the
English army. His uniform was white — not so
white as his soul — and thus he met the fatal
thrust. The English were aroused. Their cour-
age came forth in the shape of armies and leaders
who were eager to avenge his death by conquest
of the Soudan. Lord Kitchener, a bachelor, a
man of inagnificent size, was selected for the
task after all others had failed. Lord Kitchener
would never permit any but bachelors to serve
on his staff. He knew war was a serious thing
and he would have no staff officer who had wife
or children dependent on him.

On and on Kitchener advanced across the
desert. The camels having failed as transports,
they were superseded by a railway, and the army
traveled by relays, for Kitchener felt that the
only way to get to Khartoum was to have the
supplies for his men always close to them ; after
the army had advanced a certain distance, the
supplies were brought up that distance. I re-
member reading a little book by Steevens, entitled
"\\'ith Kitchener to Khartoum," in which one
entire chapter is devoted to the man Kitchener.

Finally they came within striking distance, the
battle was fought, Khartoum fell and as these
men approached the spot where Gordon died, the
first thing they did was to raise the English en-
sign next the flag of Egypt. Next religious serv-
ices were held and the hymns Gordon loved were
sung. Today in Khartoum there stands an eques-
trian statue of heroic proportions of this great
man and Egypt is just as well governed now as
any country in the world.

Now, in closing, I just want to say one thing
more about this English courage. You may have

read, I am sure you did, that Captain Scott
reached the South Pole with four men, only to
find evidences there showing that he was not the
first discoverer. He started back. One of the
men suffering with frost-bitten feet so that he
could hardly walk, finally went out into the bliz-
zard to die, leaving the others to struggle on.
The few words which I shall read to you are the
last in the diary of Captain Scott, found on his
body eight months after his death. Lr them I
think you will find a pathos, a courage, a devo-
tion that is almost unthinkable : "We arrived
within eleven miles of our old One Ton Camp
with fuel for one hot meal and food for two
days. For four days we have been unable to
leave the tent, the gale blowing about us. \Ye
are weak. Writing is difficult, but for my own
sake, I do not regret this journey, which' has
shown that Englishmen can endure hardships,
help one another and meet death with as great a
fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks. We
knew we took them. Things have come out
against. us and therefore we have no cause for
complaint, but bow to the will of Providence,
determined still to do our best to the last. But
if we have been willing to give our lives to this
enterprise, which is for the honor of our country,
I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who
depend on us are properly cared for. Had we
lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the
hardihood, endurance and courage of my com-
panions, which would have stirred the heart of
every Englishman. These rough notes and our
dead bodies must tell the tale, but surely, surely,
a great, rich country like ours will see that those
who are dependent on us are properly provided
for."

It may possibly have been amiss that I have
dwelt so much upon this one characteristic of
courage, and yet as I have said before, there is
nothing so important, not only to you young men
but for those who guide you ; and as I have had
the pleasure of Dr. Fell's acquaintance since he
became a member of the Faculty of St. John's

THE WESTERN NATIONAL BANK

College, 26 years ago, I can say with truth that
I believe his strong characteristics are courage
and confidence, and I believe as firmly as I stand
here, and all his friends believe, that he will keep
aloft the standard of this university and maintain
its aft'airs unspotted from the world.

I now have the great honor and the great
privilege, to say nothing of the personal satis-
faction, of presenting to you the newly-elected
Provost of this University, Doctor Thomas Fell.

MINUTE UPON THE DEATH OF DANIEL
M. THOMAS, '46, A MEMBER OF THE
BOARD OF VISITORS AND GOVERNORS
OF ST. JOHN'S. PREPARED BY JUDGE
WALTER I. DAWKINS AND MR. PHILE-
MON H. TUCK.

A resolution was adopted at a recent meeting
of the Alumni Association of St. John's College,
held at the University Club in Baltimore, that
Walter L Dawkins and Philemon H. Tuck pre-
pare a Minute which would record the deep sor-
row with which the association had learned of
the death of Daniel Murray Thomas, the oldest
alumnus of the college, also the oldest member
of its Board of Visitors and Governors, and ex-
tend our sympathy to his relatives, as well as
give expression to the great loss which the com
munity has suffered in the death of this most
exemplary and good man.

Mr. Thomas was born on West River, in Anne
Arundel County, Maryland, and attended St.
John's College, from which he graduated in 1846,
almost sixty-seven years ago ; during this long
period he lived a life to be admired by all, and
it was an inspiration especially for the younger
members of his profession.

He became a member of the Board of Visitors
and Governors of St. John's College in 1859,
being the senior member of the Board at the
time of his death, and served in that capacity for
fifty-four years. It is doubtful if any one since
the founding of this college, more than two hun-

dred years ago, has ever been connected with it
as student and official for so many years.

Mr. Thomas read law in Annapolis in the
office of Cornelius McLean, one of the leaders
of the Bar in his generation. Within a few
years after being admitted to the Bar, he came
to Baltimore to practice his profession, and there
resided until the time of his death.

Shortly after the adoption of the Constitution
of 1867, he was appointed Auditor and Master
in Chancery of the Equity Court of Baltimore
City, which office he retained until his death,
during a large part of the time being the only
Master, upon whom devolved a great deal of
labor and responsibility, which he met with abil-
ity and fidelity of the highest order. Since his
death the Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench
made the statement that so highly were the opin-
ions of Mr. Thomas regarded by the judges that
if the Court should happen to disagree with his
findings it was necessary to prepare a very care-
ful opinion in order to show the error of the
Master's ruling. The record shows that no man
ever served the courts so faithfully and so long
as Mr. Thomas in this position, as he worked to
the end, even beyond his eighty-sixth year, with
the same interest and sagacity that he had dis-
played in the prime of his youth. He fully
measured up to the importance of the duties of
this office, which when intelligently and with
firmness performed reheves the judges of a great
deal of work, as Mr. Thomas occupied towards
the Chancery Courts the same relation as that
held in England by the Master of the Rolls, gen-
erally selected from among the leaders of that
Bar.

And yet the religious side of this man was
the best. Reared from infancy in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, he loved and served it faith-
fully until his death, having been a vestryman
of St. Luke's Church, Baltimore, from 1865 to
1913, and was many times a member of the Dio-
cesan Convention, as also a deputy to the Gen-

eral Convention of his church, considered one
of the highest deliberative bodies in the world.

Of his splendid characteristics, the most im-
portant were his cheerfulness, courage, self-reli-
ance and unselfisnness, so much so that his inti-
mate friends, and he had them almost without
number, did not know of his last illness, because
it was not the habit of Mr. Thomas to give
trouble to others. When the Nestor of our Bar,
this old-time Southern gentleman, passed away,
he left an example which may well be emulated
by the entire profession, and by all those who
enjoyed the honor and pleasure of his acquaint-
ance.

In the beautiful springtime, which Mr. Thomas
loved so dearly, God gave His beloved sleep ;
his ashes now repose with those of his dear de-
parted ; his soul has entered upon rest and peace,
the peace of God which passeth all understanding.

And friends! dear friends! — when it shall be

host to the Maryland Teachers' Association,
which held its Annual Convention sessions in the
gymnasium. At the meeting on Tuesday night,
Dr. Thomas Fell delivered a cordial address of
welcome. A considerable number of the teachers
took quarters in the college dormitories and
were provided with meals at the mess-hall. On
Thursday evening a large dance, given by the
Annapolis Chamber of Commerce, was held in
the gymnasium in honor of the visitors.

The report of the War Department, concerning
the military work of the past session is favorable
and creditable. St. John's is not included among
the "Big Ten," so-called, of distinguished mili-
tary institutions which are more exclusively de-
voted to military work, but the college has been
especially commended, along with five other in-

THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

BALTIMORE, JULY, 1913.

After being confined to institutions for the
insane since April 22, when he was adjudged
insane by a sheriff's jury at Towson without his
knowledge, Dr. Marshall Langton Price, '02, for-
mer Secretary of the Maryland State Board of
Health, was declared sane by the verdict of a
second sheriff's jury held at Towson, June 20.
The second jury was summoned upon petition
by Dr. Price, through his counsel, in which he
claimed that the former proceedings were of an
ex parte nature and without his knowledge. He
declared on the witness stand that his nervous
condition was caused by the death of his mother
and other things. Drs. A. P. Herring and Charles
G. Hill testified for Dr. Price and Dr. Edward
N. Brush against him.

The name "Provost," as the title of the head
of the University, has been criticized by some
as inappropriate. It is thought that "President"
would be better. But practically they mean the
same thing, viz. "one set over or appointed to
preside and have authority," and therefore why
change ? The very quaintness and uncommon-
ness of "provost" — at least in America — give it
an attraction and a charm. It is not uncommon
in England and Scotland and the University of
Pennsylvania shares it with us. As long as it is
synonymous with "president," let us hold on to
it as an honorable and sufficient designation,
sanctioned by over a century's use and held by
men whose names have shed lustre upon our
University.

Cannot something be done to fill the stage at
our Commencements ? Only the first two or
three rows of seats are occupied, then come sev-
eral empty rows. How much better it would
look to the audience, if these were filled also. It
were better to allow the audience to occupy them,
as was done last year than to leave them vacant.
But why not fill them with the alumni ? Many
alumni complain that they are not invited to the
Commencements ; let them see that they are wel-
come and expected to come. Publish an invita-
tion to that effect in the newspapers and in Old
Maryland. Many, we doubt not, will be glad
to avail themselves of it and it will be one way
to secure their interest and good will, which we
fear have often been estranged in the past by
neglect and indifference on our part. Let us omit
nothing that will help to bind the alumni to their
Alma Mater.

The year 1913 is the centennial anniversary of
the organisation of the University, as such. On
the 22nd of April, 1813, in accordance with the
recent act founding the University, the Regents
provided for thereby met for organization. There
were present the original Faculty of Physic,
holding office by virtue of the Act of 1807, and
the three other Faculties, of Divinity, Law and
Arts and Sciences, appointed by it, the whole
constituting the Board. It was decided that each
Faculty should consist of seven professors and
members. Archbishop John Carroll, of the R. C.

Church, was elected Provost but he decHning,
Hon. Robert Smith was chosen for the office and
Dr. Richard Wihnot Hall was selected for Sec-
retary. Although the Board did not lead a very
active life upon its foundation, under the new
auspices just inaugurated it promises to take a
deeper interest in the University during the com-
ing century.

It has been ten years — oh July 1— since the
Library of the Faculty of Physic entered upon
an active career. The credit for the inception of
that event is due, we believe, to Professor Ran-
dolph Winslow. The Department possessed at
that time a few hundred old volumes, unused,
worm-eaten, mouldy, covered with dust, their
very existence almost unknown. According to
the report of the Librarian for the year ending
June 1, 1913, the collection now stored m Davidge
Hall, then numbered 11,655 volumes and within
the last few days several hundred more have
been added by Baltimore Medical College, so
that the present number must approximate very
closely to 12,500, forming one of the large medi-
cal libraries of the country, indeed we may say
of the world. Recent gifts of 143 new books by
Dr. Nathan Winslow, of sets of German journals
by Dr. L. Ernest Neale and of American journals
by Dr. Randolph Winslow, have added greatly
to its value. The total additions last year were
915. University men may contemplate this noble
collection, with its busts, portraits, diplomas, etc.,
with peculiar pleasure, for it is something to be
proud of. Now for some rich alumnus to give
it a building and endowment.

There was some comment on the absence at
the installation of our new Provost, of repre-
sentatives of other colleges and institutions. Was
it an oversight? Were there difficutlies in the
way of expense and entertainment? Whose duty
—if it were a duty — was it to see to such a thing?
We cannot forget the great assembly of repre-
sentatives and scholars, not only American but
European, who attended the installation of Dr.
Remsen as head of Johns Hopkins University,
on the retirement of Mr. Oilman. Who can doubt
that a similar observance will be paid to the
induction of Dr. Remsen's successor? Are we

so much inferior to the Hopkins that we must
forego such things entirely? The same applies
to our University banquet. Why not do as the
others do and have representatives of universi-
ties and colleges present on that occasion, at least
those of Maryland institutions?

The Provost has left with his family for his
vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Lu-
ray, in the Valley of Virginia. The site of his
summer sojourn may be conjectured from its
significant name — "Skyland." Here, high on the
mountain, about 500 persons spend the summer.
Each family has its own bungalow and a caterer
supplies meals for all in a central hall. Life is
entirely unconventional, everything being made
to contribute tg rest and health. Servants are
left behind and an old suit and old straw hat
supply the needs of clothing. In this lofty retreat
with its fine vistas, the lines of Cowper must
often recur to the minds of its occupants :

"How oft upon yon eminence my pace
Has slackened to a pause and I have borne
The ruffling wind, scarce conscious that it blew;
While admiration feeding at the eye
And still unsated dwelt upon the scene."

A pamphlet came recently to the Library ad-
dressed to "Hon. Sir Librarian of the University
Library." This reminds us of one, received
many years ago, from Dr. Eklund, an eminent
physician of Stockholm, Sweden, addressed to
"Sir G.. Lane Taneyhill, for the far-experienced
and widely-celebrated Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty of Maryland."

Immediately before Dr. Fell began his address,
at the Commencement, Judge Stockbridge read
the following telegram from Mr. John Hays
Hammond, whom he designated as "one of the
foremost engineers, one of the most highly edu-
cated men in the world today" :

"Washington, May 31, 1913.

"Dr. Thomas Fell. Please accept my sincere
congratulations on the high honor conferred on
you and my best wishes for a successful admin-

The Harvard Club of Baltimore has awarded a
$250 tuition scholarship at the law school of
Harvard University to Mr. Calvert Magruder,
the honor man of the graduating class of St.
John's and the Associate Editor of Old Mary-
land. Mr. Magruder is the youngest son of
ex-Judge Daniel R. Magruder, of Annapolis,
and in carrying off the honors of St. John's,
he is treading in the footsteps of his illustrious
father, who was the honor man there just 60
years ago. We shall watch Mr. M.'s career at
Harvard with interest as it is highly probable
that more honors await him in the study of the
law.

great scheme I have but one experience, and that
is, that all the will, ruling power and intellect,
the soul and spirit of which I have cognizance,
are personal ; and that if I am to argue from the
less to the greater, I must accept it that there is
a great Power above all, ruling, guiding and
regulating. Personal, but all-pervading, to Whom,
in however small a degree, we are allowed to
liken ourselves, rebelling against Whose laws we
are bound to suffer, directly or indirectly, but
obeying with the freedom of sons we become
more like that from which we come. G. Sims

. The annual banquet of the Alumni Association
of the School of Medicine was held at the Em-
erson Hotel on the evening of Commencement
Day. A business meeting preceded. Dr. C. R.
Winterson, the President, presiding and Dr. B.
Merrill Hopkinson, Secty, pro tern. Reports
were presented by the Treasurer, and the chair-
men of the Executive and Necrological Commit-
tees. There were 13 deaths reported. The fol-
lowing were elected to membership : — Drs. Wil-
liam L. Byerley, George E. Bennett, J. Dade
Darby, Harry Deibel, W. E. Gallion, Jr., N. R.
Gorter, J. Edward Hubbard, J. F. Hawkins, Ed-

The banquet having been disposed of, after a
few remarks by the President, Dr. Taneyhill,
Toastmaster, introduced in succession Surgeon-
General Rupert Blue, U. S. Public Health Ser-
vice, who spoke upon "Interstate Sanitation,"
Prof. J. C. Hemmeter, who spoke as the repre-
sentative of the Faculty of Physic and Dr. Nor-
bert C. Nitsch, President of the graduating class.
The music was in the hands of Dr. Hopkinson
and Mr. Hobart Smock, which is an assurance
of its excellence. Mr. Smock also gave some
very entertaining dialect recitations. The fol-
lowing are the officers for the ensuing year :

dents, Drs. Robert P. Bay, Henry D. Fry and

The Governor of Maryland believes in the
right of the people to be educated, and educated
not only in the mere elements, but in the higher
branches including the professions. It is the
duty of the State, he says, to provide a college
training for those who aspire to and are fitted
for it, that they may be better prepared for the
tasks and responsibilities which await them later.

But he is the Governor of the whole State, the
whole people, and he must consider the general
interests. He thinks these can best be sub-
served by welding together the educational act-
ivities of the State into one great establishment,
one great State University supported by the pub-
lic revenues.

Nor does he stop here, with mere theorizing —
but declares his intention of appointing a Com-
mission to study and recommend a plan for the
revision and systematization of education in
Maryland.

We are convinced that this is the solution of
the question as far as we of this University are
concerned. There is no other way in which we
can secure that financial support which has be-
come vitally necessary to our continued existence
and creditable maintenance.

stitutions of the country, for the efficiency of the
military department during the last year.

General regret is occasioned by the fact that
Lieut. D. Murray Cheston, the present command-
ant, will be relieved of his detail at St. John's
and ordered to his regiment in December. Ac-
cording to the regulations of the War Depart-
ment, an officer is allowed only a limited time of
detached service. No successor to Lieut. Ches-
ton has yet been selected, though there are many
applicants for the position.

A handsome portrait of the late John Wirt
Randall, for several years chairman of the Board
of Governors and Visitors, was presented to the
College on June IG. C. M.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW.

It was a happy lot of Seniors that received
their diplomas on May 31st and they had a right
to be happy. An LL.B. from the University of
Maryland is a thing of which any man may be
proud, and we are — all of us.

As was set forth in the last number of Old
Maryland, impressive ceremonies marked the
conferring of these honors and those who wit-
nessed the Commencement will never forget.
There are many reasons why we, shall never for-
get it.

The Senior Class was especially gratified to
learn that the Scholarship Honor went to Mr.
Lewin Claude Baily. Mr. Baily was a close
student, but not to an extent which deprived
him of his associations with his classmates. He
was known and liked by us all. Mr. Baily was
the editor from the Law Department for Terra
Mariae and his "write ups" were generally com-
mended for their wit and applicability.

Mr. Edward Duffield Martin, the recipient of
the Thesis prize, is also one of the most popular
men in the class. Mr. Martin is an industrious
worker and his ambitions to do the little things
well will lead him, we have no doubt, to succeed
in those great things which lie before him in the
future.

Through the courtesy and kindness of our
Dean, Judge Henry Harlan, the members of the
Graduating Class were invited to attend the An-
nual Smoker which was given by the Alumni
Association at the Medical and Chirurgical Build-
ing. The entire affair was most pleasant and
the courtesy of Judge Harlan was deeply ap-
preciated by the whole class. The term spent at
the University had been happy for us all and
held only the most pleasant memories, and it was
most appropriate that through the thoughtful-
ness of our Dean, we should be enabled to meet,
on the eve of our Commencement, many of those
men with whom our future associations would
be united.

On the evening of the Commencement a party
of graduates from the Law Department, num-
bering about 20, got together and went to a
well-known resort for supper and a good time.
They had it and there are many humorous inci-
dents left in our minds of this occasion which
will linger and cause many a good laugh when-
ever one or more of this party get together in
the future.

On June 5th and 6th, in the Richmond Market
Armory, the Bar Examination was held. About
100 men took the test. The results are most
gratifying to the followers of the University of
Maryland. Out of the 54 who passed, three-fifths
were U. of Md. graduates or students. To the
few of our men, however, who unfortunately
did not get through, we extend our sincere sym-
pathy and trust they will see their way clear to
try again. The following applicants were suc-
cessful :

Class of 1913: L. C. Bailey, W. C. Barker,
P. B. Briscoe, F. L. Cobourn, J. W. Darley, Jr.,
J. A. Fulton, H. B. Frere, J. C. Grice, H. L.

re-elected Secretary. The report of the Com-
mittee on Legal Education, recommending that
the course of study be extended from two to
three years and that an educational qualification
be required of applicants for admission to the
bar, was unanimously adopted. Interesting ad-
dresses were made by Associate Justice Mahlon

be a nice thing if some one competent for the

There is a prospect that the consolidation be-
gun in the medical schools will extend to the lazv
schools. There are now two of the latter here,
that of the University and the Baltimore Law
School, which was affiliated with the Baltimore
Medical College. There have been several meet-
ings between represntatives of the two faculties.
Ex-Judge Alfred S. Niles, '81, is Dean of the
Baltimore Law School, which holds its sessions
at night. It certainly seems highly desirable that
the union should be efifected and the opportunity
should be availed of o widen and lengthen the
course and extend the standard, so that the re-
sultant school should take its place in the front
rank of such institutions.

Judge James P. Gorter, '81, was the guest of
honor at the dinner of the law class of 1912
(held at the Hotel Rennert June 10) and made
an interesting address. Among other things, he
said that he thought that any testimony ought to
be admitted in a case that has any bearing upon
it, and the danger of fraud should not be used to
keep out anything that would tend to a just and
equitable settlement. There was considerable
doubt in his mind, whether the person accused
of guilt should be presumed to be innocent until
proved guilty. Certainly he thought, a man's
criminal record ought to be admissible as evi-
dence. He was in favor of having all the light
possible turned on every case, as shown in the
case of Downes. The present rules may prevent
the trying of a case in a manner tending to show
the guilt of the accused.

Congressman J. Charles Linthicum, '90, is in
favor of a State University, to embrace, by affili-
ation, consolidation or otherwise such schools,
colleges and universities as may choose to unite
therewith, to be governed by a Board of Regents
and to have Johns Hopkins LTniversity as its
apex. Combination of all sorts are now being
formed, since experience teaches the advantage

of concert in action and its applicability in edu-
cational affairs should be recognized. Everything
is in its favor, economy, effectiveness, state pride,
as has heretofore been frequently pointed out.
But what would the shades of Potter and Hall
say to our coming back to a "State University"?
o

It would be an extremely good thing if every
State would hasten the day when statutes will
be adopted which make necessary the presenta-
tion of health certificates before marriage. That
these laws should be easy of enforcement they
should not, in my opinion, be too drastic.

Sentiment will always rule in the making of
marriages, I suppose, but love with health will
make for a far more perfect and happy marriage
than love without health. More social problems
will be solved by putting marriage on a health
basis than in any other way, in my opinion.

Normal persons are usually happy and con-
tented when they are well, and therefore the
most effective check which can be offered for the
divorce evil is the encouragement of the mar-
riage of healthy, happy people.

The spread of the health marriage idea will
mean that men particularly will come to think
more of the care of themselves. The day when
thinking people can give even passive support to
the so-called double standard is rapidly passing.
Young men who think they must "sow wild oats"
must be taught that the fathers and mothers of
the land will not allow their daughters to enter
innocently into such a union.

How far the health marriage laws should go
is a matter to be .decided carefully by the States
that make them. — Surgeon-General Rupert
Blue, '92.

The object of education is to acquire the ability
to use one's brains. In a vocational, technical or
professional school, it is the use of one's brains
in a limited field for one particular purpose. In
general education, the object is to develop one's
mental powers for any purpose to which they
may subsequently be applied. This is a much
more difficult problem specially in view of our
ignorance how far aptitudes acquired in one
subject can be transferred to another. — Lowell.

By Nathan Winslow.

It is meet that, upon the occasion of the re-
appearance of "Old Maryland" after a lapse
of four months, tribute be paid its founder and,
until his death, editor. Today a man's success
is judged by the amount of wealth he can ac-
cumulate, nevertheless there are still a few left
who through temperament are unfitted to ac-
cumulate money. Are we to say therefore that
their lives are spent in vain? Happily we can-
not always measure a man's usefulness by this
standard, and one of such as the mist of times
become more and more hazy and most of us
have passed into an oblivious desuetude, will
live on forever and be honored by not only our
children's children, but theirs and so on as
long as there be a medical profession in Mary-
land. Doctor Cordell devoted his talents to tne
uplift of man. It was along this avenue that
he found his talents best suited and most hap-
piness. He had no idea of money when it came
to himself, and would cheerfully deny himself
the bare necessities of life if he thought he
could be of service to the downtrodden and
afflicted. The T'niversity of Maryland is proud
to have numbered him amongst her alumni and
will always cherish his memory as a most de-
voted, altruistic, unselfish, loyal alumnus, bent
upon doing his part in advancing her prestige as
he saw the light. A noble soul has passed to
his reward, but in this case we feel that he still
lives, as he has given us by precept and ex-
ample ideals which will exist as long as there
be an University of Maryland. He with James
Carroll will rank forever as one of our im-
mortals, Avhose life will be looked up to as a
constant reminder of what one devoted servant
can do for the institution he loved so well.

Idealist! Our prayer is that we had more
such. Unencouraged, rebuffed, sub.iect to con-
tumely and condemnation, unpaid, he wended
his Aveai\y wa.y beating the highways and the
byways in an effort to build up an endowment
fund, which he realized to be an absolute neces-

sity, if the University of Maryland is to survive
the stress of times. If he did .not succeed in
commensuration with the labors expended, still
he could die happy in the thought that he finally
succeeded in arousing our faculties and alumni
into a full realization that endowment is an
absolute necessity. It indeed must have been
a satisfaction in his declining years to feel that
now whatever comes of the endowment, it was
he who collected the nucleus. Certainly as
early as 1880. if not earlier, he had commenced
to talk and urge endowment. But it was not
until 1897 that he collected his first contribu- >
tion, which was $10.00, from Professor Ran-
dolph Winslow. A less persevering man would
have long before through lack of success dis-
continued-all efforts in this line. Not Doctor
Cordell, however, for anyone who knew him,
knew that tenacity of purpose was a part of
his soul. Slowly at first but a little more
rapidly toward the end. the fund increased, so
that at the time of his death it totaled approxi-
mately $50,000.00. To be sure a small amount,
but an enormous amount when one takes into
consideration that it was practically the effort
of a single loyal-hearted alumnus.

As important as the endowment fund is
to the continued existence of the University
of Maryland, to our mind Doctor Cordell's
greatest service to his Alma Mater, was his
creation of an University Spirit, "The Univer-
sity Idea." In order to better spread his propa-
gandas he founded and edited "Old P^ary-
land, " a periodical which from the very first
issue became a force in creating new policies
in the University. At such a recent period as
ten years ago, each department -held aloof from
the others. There was nothing in common.
Doctor Cordell played an important part in
welding the interests of the several departments
so that now when one speaks of the University
of Maryland, one does not think of the medical
department, or the law department, but as one
should a central organization which includes
all the schools. He was the organizer of the
General Alumni Association, and in its early
days devoted much time and effort in making

116

OLD MARYLAND.

it a success. In fact he was actively interested
in any movement which tended to advance the
University. When in 1903 he was appointed
librarian, he found a collection of 1,500 vol-
umes, mostly old, obsolete and worthless for
present day purposes. He immediately set about
building up a modern library and was success-
ful beyond all measure. At the time of his de-
mise, the library containing approximately
11,000 volumes, was classed as one of the best
medical libraries in the United States, These
are the chief activities which our dear departed
friend was chiefly concerned with in the Uni-
versity, Outside of these duties, he found much
time to devote to other benevolent purposes,
such as the founding of the Home for Widows
and Orphans of Physicians, together with Dr,
Leigh Bonsai and Mr, George Torrance, the
Home- for Incurables, and with others the
Woman's Medical College of Baltimore. It is
largely through his efforts that the Medical and
Chirurgical Library is one of the Avorld's re-
nowned medical collections, for when he took
hold of it, many years ago, it was insignificant,
but through hard work he gradually accumu-
lated the nucleus of the present magnificent
collection. At the time of his death he was
Professor of History of Medicine in the Uni-
versity of Maryland, to which position he
was appointed in 1903, He was a recognized
authority in his chosen line, bearing not only
a local but an international reputation. As a
recognition of his eminence in this field of med-
ical research he was only recently elected an
Honorary Member of the Royal Society of Med-
icine, London, Section of History of Medicine,

He was a painstaking investigator, and from
his pen issued the Medical Annals of Maryland,
A Historical Sketch of the University of Mary-
land, and later and more pretentious a two-
volume history of the LTniversity of Maryland,
These writings are celebrated for their accu-
racy of statement, will be consulted by future
historians, and will serve to forever perpetuate
liis name.

These are only some of his many and varied

activities. He lead an active and useful life, a

life which will forever be an inspiration to the

youth of future generations. His constant

prayer for the University of Maryla.nd was:

"Gorl give us men! A time like tliis demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready

hands ;
Men who possess opinions and a will."

ADDRESS OF DR, THOMAS FELL, PRO-
VOST OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MARY-
LAND, TO THE CITY CLUB OF BALTI-
MORE.

The Wisconsin Idea and its Relation to
Maryland.

The modern world has been recently touched
and transformed by the Spirit of Democracy.
A new test is now applied for the worth of
life, the test of service. A man must not only
be good, but good for something. Precisely
the same test must be applied to education.
How much is it worth? Education should bring
out the best that lies in each member of the com-
munity, thereby fitting him or her to be of the
greatest possible service to it.

Therefore, we may take "Democracy" and
"Sei'vice" as the key words which unlock the
Wisconsin idea.

The University of Wisconsin, soon after it
was established, realized that education is
broader than the school, and that democracy, if
it pays the taxes, demands its full share of the
benefits derived therefrom — that universities
must come into closer contact with the life of
the people.

It was seen that a large number of men
and women desire to continue their education
after they become wage earners, also that many
thousand persons are taking correspondence
courses of some sort, and this at a cost of prob-
ably a million dollars annually. This pointed to
the fact that many people were awake to the
need of further education.

The University of Wisconsin recognized the
existence of this need and determined to carry
the teaching force and wealth of learning pos-
sessed by the University to the- State 's f m-thest
boundaries.

There were at that time no vocational schools
in the state. The boys and girls who were
obliged to leave school to become wage earners
had no further opportunity to educate thejn-
selves.

The public schools bad little to attract those
who had no ambition to continue their educa-
tion for a jDrofessioual career. The boy in the
shop had no means of acquiring additional
education to help him to become a foreman.

OLD MARYLAND.

117

Men in business did not appreciate the possi-
bilities of assistance that might be derived from
a clearer understanding of economic forces.

fSo after careful consideration it was decided
to reorganize what was called the Department
of University Extension. This idea did not
originate in Wisconsin. Many years ago this
method vi^as used at Oxford University in Eng-
land, also much of the commercial supremacy of
the German Empire is based on the skilled in-
telligence of its workingmen, but at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin this extension directed it-
self almost entirely to the advancement of the
agricultural, industrial and civic interests of
the State.

The extension movement was directed to :

First: Instruction of artisans and appren-
tices in their shops, their homes and local re-
sorts.

Second: Teaching of business men and
clerks. "*

Third: The traveling package libraries on
present day problems.

The work done under the direction of this
branch is of a most interesting character. A
system has been developed by which informa-
tion can be given on many subjects which iso-
lated organizations or individuals could not
secure, except by long search.

As up-to-date articles upon live questions of
public interest are found, not in books, but in
newspapers, magazines and reports, this ma-
terial is clipped, mounted, classified and bound,
made up in a sort of scrap book, and sent under
simple rules, to public libraries, teachers or in-
dividuals.

Fourth: Municipal Reference Bureau, by
which municipal officers are assisted in solving
problems connected with water, light, sewage
and hygiene.

Fifth: Commergial Reference Bureau.

Sixth: Health Bureau, directed to the con-
servation of human life.

Seventh: Studies in the production and
marketing of farm i^roducts.

Eighth: Production and dissemination of
grain in the State.

Ninth: The right and wrong way in milk
production.

Tenth : Live-stock improvement.

Thus the people of Wisconsin are getting

help from their university which they deeply
appreciate, and in return for which they have
given it a liberal and enthusiastic support.

Now turning to Maryland, and considering to
what extent we can employ these methods here,
it is evident that the general conditions of
education in Maryland are so far removed from
what is found in Wisconsin, and the character
of the i^oi^ulation so diverse from that which
exists there, that it is extremely difficult to ex-
press one in the terms of the other.

Wisconsin is a unified agricultural State, and
the university dominates all forms of education
in that State, even controlling the State Board
of Education.

Maryland is one of the older states, replete
with traditions and conservative feeling. That
it is awakening to a realization of the progress
of democracy is evident.

People are becoming aware that between the
last generation and that now in school, there
has been a more radical change in industrial
and in educational conditions than between any
two previous generations known in history.

Usually changes appear at the top, but it is
the stirring of the great mass that produces
the froth.

To meet this there must be an educational
system so democratic in administration that the
citizen through every stage of his development
may find his relation to his environment and
its relation to himself.

There is in Maryland already existing a great
educational machinery known as the public
schools which ought to be utilized more
efficiently in this work.

This can be done by conveying to the teach-
ers of the public schools the wealth of learning
formulated in college and university, which
is now available in summer schools and pedogo-
gical courses. The vocational interests of the
people should be provided for and the rural
schools improved.

All of the above is set forth in an excellent
report recently submitted by Superintendent M.
B. Stephens to the State Board of Education
and adopted by them.

Finally there is needed a more systematic
adjustment of i^rimary, secondary and higher
education to meet the needs of the people.

118

OLD MARYLAND.

This is what the University of Maryland is
striving to accomplish by combining under the
aegis of a State University all the institutions
of learning supported by the State of Maryland.

This movement, which is already in progress,
will, if carried to a full conclusion, create a
marked advance for the betterment and uplift
of the whole system of education in Maryland.
The people then could see that the money ap- .
propi'iated for educational purposes, is returned
to them manifold by the benefits derived from
such a system of State education.

RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OP DR.
EUGENE F. CORDELL.

At a meeting of the executive committee of
the University of Maryland Alumni Associa-
tion, held on the 8th day of October, 1913, the
following resolution was adopted :

"Whereas, Eugene Fauntleroy Cordell de-
parted this life on the 27th day of August,
1913, it is appropriate that tribute should be
paid to his character and that a record and an
acknowledgment should be made of his great
and valuable services to the University of Mary-
land, to this association, to his profession and
to the community.

"Dr. Cordell had a distinguished career in
the Confederate Army during the Civil War,
having suffered imprisonment and shed his
blood in the cause he espoused; he had an hon-
orable record as a practicing physician and im-
portant and useful activities in many fields not
directly connected with the University of Mary-
land; but we knew him most intimately as the
founder, organizer, long-time moving spirit and
adviser of this association and its related ac-
tivities — the Alumni Advisory Council, the En-
dowment Fund and "Old Maryland." While
the qualities of mind and character which he
displayed in this work were no different from
those he bestowed upon his larger and perhaps
better-known service, yet we gratefully record
his conscientious attention, his assiduous labors,
his cheerfulness, his patience, his faith. No
duty ever imposed, no request ever made of
him relating to the welfare of the university
was ever neglected ; rather was it performed to
the utmost and beyond. It is more honor to his

memory to state that his great and useful labors
were labors of love. We honor him as the
founder and father of this association ; of " Old
Maryland" and its able editor to the last, as
one of the originators of the Alumni Advisory
Council, as the historian of the university, as a
teacher in its halls, as a tried and true friend
to the young men who came under his influence
and as an example to them and to all the world
of a Christian gentleman.

"We hereby direct that this resolution be en-
tered upon the minutes of the Alumni Associa-
tion and of the Alumni Advisory Council, that
a copy thereof be transmitted to the university
for preservation in its archives, and that a copy
be sent to Dr. Cordell's family.

' ' JOHN HENRY SKBEN, J. W. BOWERS,

"Secretary. President."

The Latin-American Club held its annual
meeting at the local branch of the Young Men's
Christian Association, Sunday, October 19,
1913. The attendance was large and a spirit of
enthusiasm prevailed. The old members of the
Club extended a cordial welcome to the new
Latin- American students, especially to those
from the Baltimore Medical College. Without
doubt, the Club this year will be stronger than
ever. Officers for the ensuing year were elected
as follows:

President Antonio Balart.

Yice-President S. A. Coeco.

Secretary J. R, Echeverria.

Treasurer Vincent Roca.

Historian Albert Portuondo.

Sergeant-at-Arms J. L. Rodriquez.

The next meeting will be held Sunday, Octo-
ber 26th, at the same place. At least sixty
new members are then expected to join the
Club. The aim of the Latin-American Club of
past years has been the bettering of the scholas-
tic standing of the Latin-American student,
and the Club this year expects to carry out the
same program, but more fully.

"Old Maryland" extends its kindest wishes
to our Latin-American students, and wishes
them a most successful and prosperous year.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT, WHY!

Owing to the sudden death of Eugene P.
Cordell, A.M., M.D., its founder and able edi-
tor, "Old Maryland" has failed to make its
customary monthly appearance. Unexpectedly.
August 27, 1913, the university authorities were
shocked by the announcement of the death of
our faithful servant. A week prior to that
date he had undergone what was thought to be
a minor operation, and was apparently maldng
an uneventful and rapid convalescence, when
suddenly and without warning he went into
fatal collapse from which he never rallied.
Though "Old Maryland" is the official organ
of the General Alumni Association of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, still it was the property
of Doctor Cordell, and before it could again b;'
issued, arrangement had to be made with the
estate, as well as an editor or editors appointed
to take the place of our late friend. At the
October 8th meeting of the General Alnmni
Association, Doctor Cordell 's widow presented

the publication to this body which immediately
appointed Doctors Albert H. Carroll and Nathan
Winslow editors, to be assisted by an advisory
board of one member from each department,
viz., Medical, Dr. H. M. Robinson; Law, James
W. Bowers, LL.B. ; Dental, Dr. P. J. Valentine ;
Pharmacy, E. Prank Kelly, Phar.D. ; Academic,
Thomas Pell, LL.D. It is also the intention of
the editors to appoint an undergraduate e.ditor
from each department, thereby giving the en^
tire university body representation upon the
Board of Editors. The new editors beg to
state that with the co-operation of our readers
they will make every effort to continue "Old
Maryland" on the same high plane and will
endeavor to their utmost to foster the same
ideals as its founder. With a full realization
that they are treading in the footsteps of one
who was especially well favored with scholarly
attainments, they ask your indulgence, if per-
chance they fall short of Doctor Cordell 's
literary standards. It is needless to remind you
that "Old Maryland" is essentially a news-
paper whose function is to keep each and every
alumnus, as well as undergraduate, posted on
tmiversity events of general interest. It is the
binding link between the present and the.past,
and as such occupies an important place in the
university organization. The editors bespeak
the same kindly reception as accorded their
predecessor, and they upon their part will do
everything to make "Old Maryland" a real
live factor in luiiversity affairs.

EUGENE FAUNTLEROY CORDELL M.D.

If for no other reason than because "Old
Maryland" is the child of Dr. Cordell 's brain,
it should be continued. It was very close
to his heart also. No one who knew him
at all well ever questioned this. There was
something almost pathetic in the way he would
stop you on the street, in the hospital corridors
and in fix)ut of Davidge Hall and ask if you had
received the copy he had left for you at your
office or in j'our room. "Old Maryland" was
never a financially prosperous publication, and
to distribute it personally rather than by post
was one of the economies he felt compelled to
practice.

Prequently I have heard him almost tip-toe,
so gently would he come, up to my door, and

120

OLD MARYLAND.

leave the monthly copy. At times he would
ring but as often he would not. He did not
wish to intrude or run the risk of intruding.

Each copy represented his thoughts, his am-
bitions, his cherished aims, and Avhen he had
left it no doubt he experienced an admixture
of feelings of pleasure and regret. For was
he not parting with something very dear to
him?

At any rate he would depart as quietly as
he had come. It was a characteristic of Dr.
Cordell to do things quietly. There was never
any noise or blataney about him. He kept hard
at the tasks he had set out to accomplish. ' ' Old
Maryland" was one of these. And "Old Mary-
land" is to live although Dr. Cordell has passed
on to the land where there are no sorrows,
no disappointments, no regrets, for there
is a real need for ' ' Old Maryland ' ' at
Old Maryland. Although that portion of each
previous issue which so well represented Dr.
Cordell 's personality will be sadly missed, there
will be an effort to supply, from time to time,
papers dealing with historical subjects.

"Old Maryland" has not heretofore meant
as much to the undergraduate body as it
shoiTld. This was in no way due to the fact that
it did not merit a keen interest on the part of
the student body, for each issue contained much
news of a truly undergraduate nature. Per-
haps to a certain degree, this was due to the
failure of the students to appreciate that the
columns were always open to them in regard
to publishing those events and doings which
are dear to the heart of every college man.
Fraterrdty news of a general nature, athletic
news, Y. M. C. A. doings, various class activi-
ties, pei'sonal notes and mention of those col-
lege events which have transpired during the
past month and of future events, all are re-
quired to stimulate and to keep alive an active
iiiterest among the students of the various de-
partments.

"With this object in view a number of as-
sociate editors have been appointed. Mr. Stein
will aid Mi^. Byers in editing the columns de-
voted to matters of interest to the medical un-
dergraduate. Dr. Fell will be asked to appoint
a man to edit St. John's department. The Law,
Pharmacy and Dentistry departments will each
have a contributing editor.

In this way all the students of all the depart-
ments should awaken to the fact that "Old
Maryland" is truly a student's paper.

And yet it is naturally not the object to make
"Old Maryland" entii'ely an undergradviate
publication. It must and will continue to be
edited for the alumni as well.

What does "Old Maryland" stand for? For
many things, but most of all for a binding
together of the various departments and for
a keeping alive the interest of our graduates in
their Alma Mater, and in all those movements
both within and without which make for the
advancement of "Good Old Maryland."

MEMORIAL TABLET TO DR. CORDELL.

It has been suggested that a memorial tablet
be placed in Davidge Hall to the memory of the
late Dr. Eugene F. Cordell. A more fitting place
could not be found for the tablet, as it was
there Dr. Cordell spent many of his last hours.

Peeling that many of Dr. Cordell 's friends
are desirous of contributing toward this tablet,
we take this opportunity of announcing that
a subscription list has been opened. The fol-
lowing have subscribed:

Dr. A. M. Shipley, $25.

Dr. Nathan Winslow, $10.

Dr. D. W. Cathell, $10.!

Dr. Eugene Kerr, $10.

Dr. Edgar G. Ballinger, $10.

Subscriptions may be sent to Nathan Wins-
low, 608 Professional Building. Acknowledg-
ment of receipts will be made in "Old Mary-
land."

TO OUR BALTIMORE MEDICAL COLLEGE
ALUMNI.

Manj^ inquiries have been coming into this
office concerning the eligibility of Baltimore
Medical College graduates (Medical, Dental,
Legal) to the alumni association of the Uni-
versity of Maryland. It gives us pleasure to
announce to our new alumni that they are eligi-
ble to membership in the General Alumni Asso-
ciation upon the same terms and with the same
privileges enjoyed by the graduate of the Uni-
versity of Maryland. Membership can be ob-

tained by the remittance of $1 to the treasurer,
Eugene W. Hodson, Phar.D., in care of Thomas
& Thompson, corner Baltimore and Light
streets, Baltimore, Md. The annual dues are
$1.00, /-which carries with it a subscription to
"Old Maryland," the official organ of the Gen-
eral Alumni Association. No mention has been
made of initiation fee, for there is none, nor
is there a- life- membership fee. The General
Alumni Association does, however, issue a cer-
tificate of membership upon the payment of
fifty cents additional.

Any other inquiries will be gladly answered
by this office.

ITEMS.

Medical.

Dr.^ B. B, Brim, class of 1902, of 901 Phillips
avenue, Toledo, Ohio, has been making an ex-
tended tour of the Eastern cities and hospitals.
He spent about three weeks in Boston at the
hospitals in connection with the Harvard Medi-
cal School, where he saw some very interesting
work by some of the leading surgeons. He also
visited New York, Washington and Baltimore.
While in the city he visited his Alma Mater,
where he was heartily welcomed by a number
of his old friends.

Prof. Randolph Winslow is in receipt of the
following letter from Dr. Josiah S. Bowen,
class of 1903, of Mt. Washington, Md.

"Mt. Washington, Baltimore County, Md.,

"September 1, 1913.
"My dear Dr. Winslow:

'"It is with great sadness that I learn of the
death of our dear old friend, Dr. Cordell.

■-"Dr.'-CordeU was a gentleman of whom too
much ca,hnot be said in a laudatory manner.
He will be greatly missed by those who knew
him. A memorial of some kind should be started
in our State Faculty to Dr. Cordell, and as you
. are, thej, .president-elect, I take the liberty to
write to, you and suggest that the memorial
should .take, the form of a museum of medical
and surgical appliances. Cases coiild in time
■be,; /provi4,ed. ' The gifts, I feel, should bear a
iJiard., giving the name of the donor. Should
such,, a .collection be started, I should like to be
-enrolled as No. 1, and will give the following :

A cupping set, vaporizer (steam), tourniquet,
vectus, obstetrical forceps, spring lance, vaginal
speculum, and perhaps others; also two wire
N. R. Smith anterior splints.

"Trusting that you will consider this favor-
ably, I beg to remain,

"Very truly yours,

"J. S. BOWEN."

Dr. Thomas Pell, provost of the University
of Maryland, and president of St. John's Col-
lege, was the principal speaker at the long-
table luncheon of the City Club, Saturday,
October 18, 1913. His subject was, "The Wis-
consin Idea and Its Relation to Maryland, ' ' part
of which address is published in another part
of "Old Maryland."

Dr. Albert Hynson Carroll, class of 1907, one
of our new editors, of the Ashby Apartments,
who was recently confined to the Maryland Uni-
versity Hospital, has sufficiently recovered to
resume his practice.

Dr. H. E. Peterman, Baltimore Medical Col-
lege, class of 1895, of 2831 St. Paul street, who
has been spending some time at Cherry Tree,
Pa., and Atlantic City, N. J., has returned to
his home.

Dr. John Rawson Pennington, class of 1887, of
4620 Kenmore avenue, Chicago, 111., is a mem-
ber of the Executive Committee of the Ameri-
can Protologic Society, which held its last meet-
ing at Minneapolis, Minn., June 16 and 17, 1913.

Dr. Gordon Wilson, professor of clinical med-
icine, who has been spending some time at North
Hatley, Canada, has returned to the city.

.. The annual report of the library of the de-
partment of medicine of the University of Mary-
land for the fiscal year shows that the library
had on hand June 1, 1913, 11,655 bound volumes,
and since that date the collection of the Balti-
more Medical College, amounting to about 1,000
volumes, had been added.

Dr. John E. Legge, class of 1899, of 21 Me-
chanic street, Cumberland, Md., who spent most
of the summer in Europe, has returned to his
home.

122

OLD MARYLAND.

Dr. Ernest Zueblin, professor of medicine, of
807 St. Paul street, who spent part of the sum-
mer traveling in Canada, has returned to his
home.

Dr. Roscoe C. Metzel, class of 1905, of 1903
W. North avenue, has named his son, born in
May, William Hines Metzel.

Dr. Thomas H. Buckler, class of 1888, of Ever-
green, who has been spending some time in Eu-
rope, recently motored thi'ough the south of
Prance.

Dr. Benjamin Newhouse, class of 1912, an-
nounces the opening of his office, 1136 6th street,
N. W., Washington, D. C. Dr. Newhouse re-
cently resigned as resident physician at the
Emergency Hospital, Washington, where he has
been for the past year. His excellent work at
the hospital has attracted much attention and
we wish him every success in his private prac-
tice.

Dental.

The number of matriculates this year is 170,
87 being in the senior class.

Dr. Herbert F. Gorgas, class of 1891, for-
merly of 845 N. Eutaw street, announces
that he will be located at The Buckler, south-
east corner Charles and Centre streets, after
October 1.

The Dental Department opened its doors for
the regular session of 1913-14 on October 1.
Dr. Heatwole, the dean, delivered an address
appropriate to the occasion. The faculty and
student-body assembled about 10 A. M., and
after proceeding to the lecture hall, where the
exercises were held, listened to the remarks of
the dean, which will be published later.

By the amalgamation with the Baltimore
Medical College we have in our department
several new instructors. Drs. Smith and Cru-
zen have been assigned places on the faculty
and Dr. Frank P. Haynes is appointed a lec-
turer on Dental Anatomy.

Dr. Walter E. Green has been appointed a
demonstrator in the Dental Infirmary and will

be there five days each week to assist Dr. Rea
in the junior class.

Dr. James W. Holt, of Boston, class 1913,
was appointed on the staff of the Forsythe Den-
tal Infirmary of Boston.

Dr. Leo J, 'Hearn, class 1913, was offered a
place at Bellevue but declined, owing to his
inability to attend.

We have had quite a few of our alumni to
visit us during the session, among them being
Dr. R. 0. Apple, of Winston-Salem ; Dr. J. Levis
Saunders, of Andura, S. C, and Dr. W. Deg-
nan, of Connecticut, accompanied by Mrs. Deg-
nan, who are traveling South on their wed-
ding journey.

The alumni of this department of the Uni-
versity may be interested to know that Dr.
David C. White, class of 1911, has received an
appointment as interne to the National Soldiers '
Home, in Washington, D. C. This appointment
came through a request from the surgeon in
charge to the Dean, for the recommendation
of a suitable man for the place. Dr. White, dur-
ing the session of 1912-13, had charge of our
extracting room, and while serving in this ca-
pacity proved his worth as a painstaking and
capable young man and well qualified to fill
the place to which he has been called.

The Dental Department mourns the loss of
Dr. Eugene F. Cordell, whose interest in our
department and the profession was untiring,
and we trust that his memory will live for many
years as a teacher and friend.

Law.

At the meeting of the American Bar Asso-
ciation at Montreal, Canada, on September 1,
2 and 3, 1913, the Maryland Bar was well rep-
resented, there being thirty-three in attend-
ance ; five judges of the Court of Appeals, Chief
Judge A. Hunter Boyd and Associate Justices
Henry Stoekbridge, '78 ; John P. Briscoe, N.
Charles Burke and John R. Pattison; three
judges of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City,
Chief Judge Henry D. Harlan, '81, Dean of
the Law School of the University of Maryland,
and Associate Judges Walter I. Dawkins, of St.

elected. It was a most enjoyable occasion, be-
ing attended by over 800 members of the Amer-
ican Bar Association, many with the ladies of
their families, besides many members of the
Canadian Bar.

The drawing card was, of course, the pres-
ence and address of the Lord High Chancellor
of England, Lord Haldane, but from the Ameri-
can Bar addresses were made by Hon. William
H. Taft, ex-President of the United States;
Edward Douglas White, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, and several others.

Maryland was well represented by Judge N.
Charles Burke, who gave an interesting talk
on "Legal Procedure and Social Unrest."

The consolidation of the Baltimore Law
School with the Law School of the University
of Maryland, which, after several months of
negotiations, was finally consummated on June
15, 1913, thus giving our Alma Mater a very
strong Legal Department, capable', of doing
much good in elevating the standard of the legal
profession.

The consolidation has brought into the ser-
vice of our Alma Mater the following of her
sons : Hon. Alfred S. Niles, 1881, former Judge
of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, who
lectures on Constitutional Law; Eugene

'Dunne, 1900, who lectures on Criminal Law
and Medical Jurisprudence; Randolph Barton,
Jr., 1893, who lectures on Legal Ethics and
conducts the Practice Court; James U. Dennis,
1895, who lectures on Personal Propex-ty, in-
cluding Bailments ; Edwin T. Dickerson, 1902,
who lectures on Contracts and Agency; Arthur
L. Jackson, 1895, who lectures on Conflict of
Law; Clarence A. Tucker, 1895, who lectures
on Equity Procedure.

The following comprise the new faculty of
the Law School: Alfred Bagby, Jr., Randolph
Barton, Jr., Carroll T. Bond, J. Wallace Bryan,
Howard Bryant, W. Calvin Chestnut, Ward
Baldwin Coe, James U. Dennis, Edwin T. Dick-
erson, Joseph C. France, Eli Prank, James P.
Gorter, Henry D. Harlan, Charles McH. Howard,

Ulman.

Academic (St. John's College).

Judge Walter I. Dawkins, of Baltimore, was
elected a member of the board of governors and
visitors of St. John's College, October 1, 1913.
Judge Dawkins is an alumnus of St. John's
and has always manifested a keen interest in
the welfare of his Alma Mater. He is also an
active member of the alumni association.

Lieut. D. Murray Cheston, U. S. A., instructor
in military science and tactics ajid commandant
of the cadet corps for the past j^ear, has been
detached by the War Department. Lieut.
Chauncey St. C. McNeill, Fifteenth Calvary,
U. S. A., has been detailed to succeed him.

Among the new students to matriculate at
St. John's College were Phillips Lee Golds-
borough, Jr., son of Governor and Mrs. Golds-
borough, and Pendall Marbury, son of William
L. Marbury, of Baltimore City.

The Board of Governors and Visitors of St.
John's College have appointed Frank C. Mel-
lon, football, baseball, and basketball star of
the last few years, as athletic director. He
will coach the several athletic teams.

124

OLD MARYLAND.

On account of impaired health, Dr. B. Ver-
non Cecil, for 10 years vice-president of St.
John's College, and for 17 years connected
with the faculty of that venerable institution,
recently tendered his resignation to the Board
of Governors and Visitors. Professor Cecil is
a native of Howard county, and graduated
from St. John's with the class of 1890. Later
he spent a year at the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore, and for a few years thereafter
taught at different places. For one year he was
instructor in the preparatory department of
St. John's. In 1896 he was appointed to the
chair of physics and chemistry, and in 1903
was made vice-president of the college.

Dr. Cecil allvays manifested a deep interest
in the welfare of his Alma Mater. For years
he was a moving spirit in the promotion of
athletics among the cadets, by whom he will
be much missed.

Pharmacy.

The Department of Pharmacy opened on Sep-
tember 29th and looks forward to a successful
year's work. The attendance is slightly below
that of last year but offers good material.
Three courses have been added to the curricu-
lum this year. Pharmaceutical, Latin and Phar-
maceutical Arithmetic for the Junior Class, and
Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence for the Senior
Class. Dr. Caspari has charge of the class in
Latin, Dr. Kelly in arithmetic, Louis J. Burger
of the class in jurisprudence. Mr. Burger is
an alumnus of this Department, class of 1893,
and of the Law Department a few years later,
and is a member of the law firm of Hisky, Foley
& Burger on North Charles street.

In addition, the course in Pharmaceutical
Technique has been extended, three extra hours
being given the Senior Class per week under
Dr. Wolf.

The Senior and Junior Classes have or-
ganized, elected their officers and are already
at work on several matters of interest to the
students. The officers of the Senior Class are:
C. L. Armstrong, President ; W. Barle MeClure,
Vice-President; Frontis Lentz, Secretary; W.
R. Johnson, Treasurer ; Ross Leader, Sergeant-
at-Arms ; Miss A. M. Patterson, Historian ; Har-
vey Todd, Assistant Historian; C. K. Stotle-
meyer, Editor; C. J. RoAve, Assistant Editor;
F. Pross, Prophet, and George Ayd, Poet. The

officers of the Junior Class are : A. L. Sterl-
ing, President; A. T. Hartman, Vice-President;
Mr. McMillan, Treasurer ; R. E. Lee, Secretary.
This class has also selected Entertainment and
Finance Committees and hope to be able to carry
out an ambitious class program. At a recent
meeting of the class the selection of a class
pennant was progressing well when someone
suggested that a question mark be placed after
the figures 1915, breaking up the meeting.

Dr. William Simon, Emeritus Professor of
Chemistry, visited the department recently and
looks splendidly after a vacation spent at his
cottage in Eaglesmere, Pa. He addressed the
Senior Class, recalling the early history of the
school and incidentally mentioned that this was
the first college of pharmacy in the United
States to have a compulsory laboratory course
in chemistry. ■

Miss B. Olive Cole, the honor member of the
class of '13, has been seriously ill of typhoid
fever at the Church Home and Infirmary but is
recovering rapidly.

Mr. D. M. Frierson, of last year's Junior
Class, passed the South Carolina State Board
of Pharmacy this summer, attaining the highest
mark ever made before this Board, and now is
in business in Anderson, S. C.

Mr. Goodrum, of this class also, failed to re-
turn this year to complete the course and is
employed in North Carolina.

Mr. R. L. Swain, '09, of Sykesville, Md.,
has been ill in the University Hospital with
typhoid fever for some time. He is rapidly
recovering.

Mr. W. Trueheart Bodiford, '05, recently
called at the University. He is representing
the Southern Drug Company of Jacksonville
and traveling through Southern Florida. He
has married as every one expected who knew
him. •

As we have been unable to get a complete
mail roll of the subscribers to Old Maryland,
we would appreciate it if all those who do not
receive a copy of the November issue, would
send in their names and addresses to No. 608

UNDERGRADUATE NOTES.

Medical.

The lOTtli annual session of the Medical De-
partment of the University began its career
on Wednesday, October 1st, with a wild plunge
into work. The summer girl is a thing of the
past, the rows on the lake are no more, the
bathing suit is laid aside, the fountain pen is
oiled up and we're ready for the perusal of
education (from the Latin "ex," meaning
"out," and the Siamese, "cation," meaning
"loaf"), hence, "out of the loaf." Things
opened up with about as large an "audio" as
have ever draped themselves o'er the seats in
the various lecture halls, and under as aus-
picious an occasion as ever graced the walls of
this venerable institution (applause from the
gallery and shouts of Amen!).

The combine (from the Latin "com," mean-
ing "with," and the Swedish "bindo," mean-
ing to "tie to," hence, to "tie up," or "get
in"), with the B. M. C. has given us not only
an absolute and relative increase in the number
of eager young minds to be instructed, but, of
more importance, the increased facilities for
instructing them, more instructors to do the in-
structing, and a Maryland General to instruct
them in. That is to say, the scope of the institu-
tion has been broadened in every respect. Now-
a-days it's not so much a question of keeping
"up," but of keeping "in!"

The remodeling of the Laboratories (from
the Greek "labor," meaning, "to monkey
around," and the Bavarian "atori," meaning
a "place where one searches for things" —
hence a place where one monkeys around in
search of something) has given an increased
impetus to the work along those lines, for, it
goes without saying that a Avell equipped lab.
is the sine qua non for the successful conduc-
tion of a modern med-school and today, with
all its modern thought, a dire necessity.

Sir Bill Osier has been quoted as saying that
a true scientist could work in a brick bath-
house — so be it. But we can't all be as those.
For instance, Pasteur had a well equipped lab.,
as also does Simon Flexner. Tradition says
the same of Sehaler and Noguchi is well
looked after, but, if we are to amount to a
tinkers-whoop it's a 10-to-l shot that the lab.
should be up to the modern ideas about them.

As Abe says, "where the hen scratcheth the
bugs areth. " Selah!

The second year class is open tg the congrat-
ulations of the season for the creditable and
intellectual way in which they have handled
the "hazing" proposition — modern schools are
beginning to look at the matter in the light as
'tis done at, par example, the University of Vir-
ginia or say Princeton.

The Randolph Winslow Surgical Society held
its first meeting of the year at Davidge Hall
on Wednesday the 15th and elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year: R. B.
Norment, Jr., President; W. S. Walsh, Vice-
President; A. V. Mordecai, Secretary; R. L.
Johnson, Treasurer, and P. P. Vinson, His-
torian. The Society expects quite a pleasant
and profitable year under the guidance of the
above mentioned officers and gives promise of
being quite an important factor in the under-
graduate department.

The House-Men are considerably perturbed
over the fact that they are in many instances
supposed to be at two, or even, three, places
at the same time. Much speculation has arisen
as to whether one can utterly neglect the prin-
ciples of physics which teach "that two bodies
cannot occupy the same place synchronously"
or that unless a person be double-faced, or
twins, or has an astral-body, or through any,
as yet, vmdiscoverable means, be both at the
Maryland General and at the Dispensary and at
the same time be on an "out-side-case" and
pari passu (should it be necessary — as it may,
at times), be at dinner. Well, we'll leave it to
the principles of Kismet, or A Midsummer
Nights Dream to decide. (Item — It might be
mentioned in passing that a series of lectures
and classes are being conducted for those who
find time to attend. Climes, too !)

crowns such efforts, and judging by the diver-
sity of opinion no effort will be made to say
which one had the best ; besides, they all are the
best, "sans puer et sans reproehe."

The annual reception to the ' ' incomers ' ' was
teiidered in due form at Davidge Hall by
the Y. M. C. A. and the attendance was greater
than in preceding years by quite a few. Var-
ious speeches by various speakers on various
topics filled out the earlier part of the pro-
gram, and then there was a sojournment to the
recreation room, where the gastronomical pro-
pensities were satiated (all of which means
that there Avas a "feed")- If you have an odd
dollar that is not working you can make a
"worth-while investment" by joining this or-
ganization and co-operating in a work that will
prove worthy of your time and efforts.

Don't write home to mother and tell her

you'll be trying to catch up in the lectures
that have preceded and speculate on why you
took up medicine as a trade.

Kappa Phi Fraternity had their smoker on
Saturday evening, October 18. It was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all who attended. Among
the many guests were Drs. Carroll, Owensby,

Academic (St. John's College).

St. John's was opened for the scholastic year
of 1913-14 on September 22. Dr. Pell, president
of the college, made the opening address to the
students in the College Chapel. About one
hundred and seventy-five students were present.

Professor J. G. Graj^, a graduate of Harvard,
has been appointed to the chair of Chemistry
and Physics to succeed Dr. B. Vernon Cecil.

Professor Rippere was elected vice-president
by the Faculty to succeed Dr. B. Vernon Cecil,
who resigned last summer. Professor Lincoln
was elected secretary to fill the place left vacant
by Professor Rippere.

St. John's defeated Rock HiH 33 to 0, and
Mt. St. Mary's, 12 to 0. Washington Lee de-
feated St. John's 19 to and Franklin and
Marshall, 47 to 0.

The Philomathean and Philoealion Literary
Societies have started to hold meetings and a
large number of new men have joined them.

John Wilson, star forward passer of last
year's eleven, has been appointed coach of the
athletic teams.

The Y. M. C. A. held a reception on Septem-
ber 27 for the benefit of the new students. A
number of addresses were made by members of
the faculty and students representing the dif-
ferent departments of the college. Afterwards
refreshments of ice cream, cake and lemonade
were served.

The Reserves were defeased on the 11th of
October 13 to by the Baltimore City College.
On the iSthi of October they defeated the Dun-
ham's School of Baltimore 6 to 0.

Professor Grove was elected chairman of the
Executive Committee to succeed Dr. Cecil. Pro- ■
fessor Grove is a graduate of St. John's and
was prominent in all athletics.

Dr. Hering was born on March 8, 1833, in
that part of Frederick county which after-
wards became a part of Carroll. He was a son
of Daniel S. and Margaret Hering. As a boy
he lived on a farm and went to the country
schools of the neighborhood, and later entered
a country store as a clerk. Not liking the
work, he turned to the study of medicine, serv-
ing under Dr. William A. Mathias of West-
minster. After learning the rudiments of his
profession, he came to Baltimore and entered
the University of Maryland, School of Medi-
cine, graduating in 1855. Upon his graduation
he returned to Westminster and began the prac-
tice of medicine, in time becoming the most
popular physician in the toAvn and surrounding
country. In 1867 he became cashier of the Na-
tional Bank of Westminster, with which he was
connected until his death. He was later elected
president of the Maryland Bankers' Associa-
tion. He took and active part in politics, and
served in the Legislature of 1896-1898, and
in 1899 was elected Comptroller. He was re-
elected in 1901, and again in 1907 and 1909.
and continued in office until the formation of
the Public Service Commission, when he was
appointed a commissioner, which position he
held up to within a short time of his death.

Dr. Hering was twice married, his first wife
being Miss Margaret H. Trumbo, who died
in 1883, leaving four children, three of whom
are now living, one of them being Dr. Joseph
T. Hering, class of 1885, a practitioner of medi-
cine in Baltimore. His second wife was Miss
Catherine B. Armacost of Carroll County, who
survives him.

The Certification of Pharmacists.

Dear Doctor : —

Certain New York physicians and pharmacists have
appoiiited a joint committee which is to thoroughly
investigate New York pharmacies and certify to the
worth of those that meet reasonable modern require-
ments in stock, in equipment and in practice.

We believe our greatly enlarged facilities and up-to-
date equipment would amply entitle us to such certifi-
cation. The character of work we have been doing
for more than twenty years has, we hope, thoroughly
and firmly established us in your esteem and favor-
ably testifies as to our abilities and methods.

DEAN TIMOTHY 0. HEATWOLE'S OPEN-
ING ADDRESS TO DENTAL CLASSES,
SESSION 1913-1914.

The opening of the thii-ty-second annual ses-
sion of the Dental Department of the Univer-
sity of Maryland marks an epoch in the history
of the Institution.

The merging of the Dental Department of
the Baltimore Medical College into this school
could have little significance, if it had meant
the joining of forces for the purpose of saving
one or the other or both institutions from col-
lapse. Such motive, we are pleased to an-
nounce, did not prompt the union, nor did it in
any way figure in the negotiations which finally
and may we say, happily resulted in the amal-
gamation. Both schools have been prosperous
since their inception; both enjoyed in a marked
degree, an enlarged reputation during the past
few years, and it is beyond question that both
might have continued indefinitely and jDros-
perously as separate and individual institutions.

What then was the reasonable motive for the
unification at this time? It was concretely and
succinctly this: Some years ago, a committee
was appointed and given the title of the Dental
Educational Council of America. The member-
ship of the Council was composed of two repre-
sentatives of the National Dental Association;
two representatives of the National Examiners'
Association; and two representatives of the
National Association of Dental Faculties. This
body of Committeemen corresponds to a like
body which had been created by the American
Medical Association, and whose operations dur-
ing the past decade have been felt in the field
of Medical Colleges of this country during that
time.

This Council made its first report about three
years ago. In this, it appealed particularly to
the profession for fewer but better Dental Col-
leges. Its I'ecoramendation along this line con-
tained a veiled hint as to the importance for

amalgamation where more than one school ex-
isted in cities of average size. Its suggestions
went still further, in that it recommended that
the basis or nucleus of the combined schools
should be an integral part of the State' Univer-
sity, Avhere such was feasible, but in cases where
it was not, then the connection would be with
a medical or other professional school of repu-
tation.

The wisdom and plausibility of the commit-
tee's reasoning was apparent, and at this early
period we are not without example of the
effects of their line of suggestive reasoning.
Notable eases of combination antedating ours,
are to be found in the cities of Louisville, Ky.,
Philadelphia, Pa., Richmond, Va., and Nash-
ville, Tenn.

The movement thus started, and the results
alreadj^ attained point to advancement along
another direction, that of the standardization
of Dental Schools, or in other words, the classi-.
fi cation of institutions whose miSsiOh it is' to
l^repare individuals for dental jiractice. Evi-
dence of Avhat is coming in the near future
along these lines is to be seen in the legislation
of progressive states of our union which, in a
few instances, have already attempted to class-
ify the dental and other professional schools of
the country, basing such rating mainly on the
standard of entrance requirements. In the
face of these facts and conditions, it scarcely
requires a prophet, nor yet the son of a prophet,
to foresee the inevitable trend of incidents
which clearly, point the way to a higher stand-
ard of efficiency, both in entrance requirements
for students and facilities for teaching in the
dental schools of the future. According to a
trite old adage, "Seeing is believing" and we
might carry this a little further and say, be-
lieving brings action, or at least should do so,
if opportunities are not allowed to pass by
unappropriated.

Your governing bodies saw the trend of
events, believed in the rational theory of eon-

OLD MARYLAND.

131

solidation of forces, and took the necessary
action which resulted in bringing about the
situation in which we find ourselves placed
today.

How well we have builded remains for the
future to tell, but the one fact, which stands
out boldly and gives color to, and encourage-
ment in the results attained through associa-
tion, such as we now enjoy, is the claim it gives
us of at last being alive to the spirit and pro-
gress of the age.

To expatiate in a detailed manner on the spe-
cial advantages to be derived hj the students of
this institution, through the broadened possi-
bilities and policies now in operation, might be
regarded as being the natural and logical se-
quence of remarks already made. Despite the
fact that such a field has its peculiar attractions
and is more or less tempting, I shall refrain at
this time from going into a discussion of that
phase of the sub.ject. Please bear in mind that
results only enter into the measure which draws
the line between success and failure. Institu-
tional history, like all history, cannot be made
in advance. To glorify past achievements is
well enough in its way, but should have no
place at this time because of the new era upon
which we are entering. To speculate in futures
is risky, if not dangerous ; the present only is
ours, and if rightly improved, makes good his-
tory and is at the same time the best possible
nassport to future progress and renown. We
have our ideals in mind, and shall endeavor to
attain a high position in the teaching of a
sneeial science which shall add to the sum total
of deserving efforts being put forth in the alle-
viation and preservation of the general wel-
fare of humanity. When the record shall have
been made for the year, may it be within our
iust rights to paraphrase our opening sentence
and be able to say: the c]o.sing of the session
of 1913-1914 has marked an important epoch
in the history of the Dental Department of the
Tluiversity of Maryland.

And now for some special remarks on a point
which it appears to me to be of some import-
ance. The necessity of discussing this feature,
or rather condition, has naturally arisen out of
the union of the two schools, and has to do
with the united and harmonious relationship of
students dui-ing the session. The real nature of
the problem to be considered may more strik-

ingly be brought to your attention by com-
paring our present situation with that of a
union through marriage, of a widower and
widow, both having offspring through prior
alliances. It is even conceivable that under the
circumstances, a new set of children may be
added to the group, for that famous bird,
the stork, has a reisutation for playing freak
pranks on occasions of si^ecial opportunity.
With conditions and circumstances, such as we
have cited, there is room for the exercise of
masterly diplomacy and tact, if order is to
be maintained and harmony continuously pre-
served. One can well imagine' constant bicker-
ings and internal complications, if not distrac-
tion and chaos under the circumstances. An
illustration of the possibilities along this line
may be given by repeating an old story, which;
though threadbare, well serves to bring out the
point we wish to make. The setting is in the
j^ard of a home such as we have been describ-
ing. The three sets of children were supposed
to be playing ; on hearing a commotion, the
wife went to the window, and after observing
the situation, gave expression something like
the following: "0 John, your children and my
children are licking the devil out of our chil-
dren."

The inferred analogy of the story to our
present situation needs only to be set forth in
bald statement to make it fully apparent.
"Your children," in the present ease, are rep-
resented by those of the student body who have
come to XTS from the B. M. C. and other schools :
"My children" by those who have spent for-
mer sessions here, and "Our children" by such
as have entered for the work of the first year
under the new regime.

Intimate contact with and close observation
of young men during the past fifteen years has
tnusrht me to realize the proneness of aggre-
frated young manhood to run amuck when sud-
denly brought together and called upon to face
new conditions under the stress of strange en-
vironment and unaccustomed associations. My
experience in this connection has taught me
another, and to me a far more important lesson,
and that is, that even boys are capable of the
truest manliness, and when appealed to on a
• innn-to-man basis respond most liberally to
overv reasonable and fairminded siLo-ffestion
from those in whom they have implicit confi-
dence.

132

OLD MARYLAND.

In the interest of general harmony and
broad-minded conduct, two things are highly
desirable, if the session is to measure up to our
expectations and the good effects of amalgama-
tion are to be apparent. I am presuming to
outline a policy for your concerted action,
which, if followed in spirit and letter, I am
convinced will mitigate if not entirely elimi-
nate any threatened friction between the sev-
eral classes "or parts thereof.

My suggestive plan places the responsibility
of conduct almost wholly upon that portion of
the Senior and Junior classes having previously
been matriculates in this Department of the
University of Maryland. I am truly* glad that
this is so, for in times gone by we have reasoned
together, and through united action have met
some rather critical situations with more or
less success.

The harmony scheme proposed is on the
basis of what might be termed a University of
Maryland House Party, to run for thirty-two
weeks. The list of hosts, and, may we add
parenthetically, hostesses, to be composed of
all students enrolled with us, and those pre-
viously in attendance at the B. M. C. or else-
where, together with those matriculating for
the first year's work, to comprise the list of
Avelcomed guests. Under such a plan, enter-
tainers and entertained are bound to observe
certain social standards and regulations which
will insure a happy and harmonious dwelling
together during the term. The natural out-
growth of such a relationship must inevitably
result in the establishment and jnaintenance of
a proper deference and thoughtful considera-
tion of feelings, one toward the other. The
unwritten social law, which prohibits one from
giving offense in his own home is inversely and
equally binding on the guest, and demands a
proper appreciation and response to every
effort made in his behalf. A "House Party"
could scarcely be regarded as a success, if hosts
were to band themselves together for purposes
of offense, and guests likewise meet for pur-
poses of defense, or vice versa. The hint herein
contained, T am sure, needs no elaboration fur-
ther than to say that Ave are anxious to effect a
true amalgamRtion, and, as some of you already
know, an amalgam represents two or more ele-
ments, which must be brought together in close
and intermingling contact, the identity of each

being lost in the other. There can be no
cementing of elements together; it must be a
process of absorption, and that even to satura-
tion.

The one essential thing aimed at by thus out-
lining a possible course of conduct for you to
adopt is to stimulate thought on the subject,
and, if what has been presented will furnish
the basis for a fuller consideration of the mat-
ter at your hands, I shall feel amply repaid for
the time spent and effort made in addressing
these remarks to you at this time. My sincere
conviction is that it is the part of wisdom for
you to establish a general policy to work by,
and set an idealistic standard to live up to, and
when this shall have been done, whether my
plan or one of your own is adopted, there
need he no fears as to an ultimate and satis-
factory outcome of our present amalgamated
relationship.

And now for some words of felicitation.
First of all we welcome yoii individually and
collectively ; those who have returned after
having spent other sessions with us ; those who
through choice or circumstance have come
from other institutions ; and those who through
selection are making their initial bow in mat-
ters professional. Please let me admonish you
that life in any sphere is a serious business, and
this is peculiarly true of the work you are
undertaking. Just at this period in our history
the profession of dentistry is undergoing an
evolution, and the enlarged possibilities in this
special field of science are already visibly ap-
parent, so that it is not unreasonable to claim
for our profession opportunities equal to, if not
surpassing, those of any other special calling.
In order to be able to meet successfully the de-
veloping conditions and opportunities now un-
folding before us, men of special culture and
learning must be raised up to maintain and
promulgate the onward trend of events which
are shaping an expanding field for our oper-
ations. You come for special training, in a spe-
cial science, at a time when various arms of
the National Government are giving recogni-
tion to the dentist; at a time when the import-
ance of his work is being given broad pitblicity
before the laity through Oral Hygiene Con-
gresses and conventions, through which means
philanthropists are becoming interested, and in
a few instances are giving liberally of their

poor; at' a period when State and City authori-
ties are beginning to recognize the economic
value of our services to the future citizen, as
represented by the millions of public school
children throughout our land; at a time when
members of the profession are specializing in
prohylaxis, oral surgery, orthodontia, crown
and bridge work, and analgesia ; at a time when
members of our profession are taking their
place alongside the medical interne in those
humanitarian institutions of every civilized
country, the hospitals ; at a time when the best
skill and science of our day is being utilized in
the manufacture of special materials, devices
and equipment to facilitate us in our work.

All these signs of opening opportunity are
just now in their incipiency, and with this
knowledge in view, do you marvel at my pre-
vious statement, that men of special culture
and learning must be raised up to maintain and
promulgate the advance movement?

The allotted period of your training, if util-
ized to the very fullest, will equip you only
partially for the tremendous tasks of the
future. Little more than a solid foundation
can be laid here, but it shall be the aim and
purpose of our faculty to so ground you in the
fundamental principles underlying the struc-
ture, which you shall later build, that neither
lack of incentive nor lack of efScieney shall
retard you in the upward march to future pro-
gress and renown.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION.

By Judge Henry D. Harlan, Dean, Law
Department.

"Old Maryland," continuing the splendid
optimism of Doctor Cordell and his ardent and
unselfish devotion to his Alma Mater and add-
ing to these the strength, vigor and enthusiasm
that valuably belong to younger life and the re-
vivifying force of new methods, ideas, sym-
pathies and aspirations, is entering upon a
career that offers great possibilities for useful-
ness in connection with the future progress
and advancement of the University of Mary-
land and each of its departments.

That it may fulfill its highest usefulness it
must have the cordial support of the University

authorities, regents and professors, as well as
its alumni and students.

It proposes a program that offers oppor-
tunity for the widest co-operation and that
promises features of interest to all; and I be-
speak for the university journal under its new
management an enthusiastic and generous
support, particularly from the law department,
its professors, students and alumni.

The Home for Widows and Orphans was dear
to the heart of the late Dr. Eugene F. Cordell.
It would, therefore, have been gratifying to
him to have known of the following communi-
cation :

"I am herewith sending you (Mrs. Cor-
dell), a small contribution toward the
maintenance of the Home. I hope that '
you may be able to continue this beautiful
charity in which Dr. Cordell was so in-
tensely interested.

Sincerely,
Louis P. Hamburger. "•

I am an undergraduate,

Of thought within;

And stand, within
The portals of our glorious band,
Nor shall disease for long withstand.
When I, a Doctor, take a hand

, DECEMBER 1, 1913,

occasionally leads to unthought of improve-
ments. Has Maryland done her part as an
educational institution? Does she occupy the
place in the educational world she should?
These are pertinent questions. Nobody will
gainsay that each department has given to the
community, the State and the Nation, men of
the greatest value; men whose services cannot
be computed in dollars and cents. But, even
so, have we done our full duty toward educa-
tion ? Undoubtedly Maryland has made the best
use of her opportunities, and has always striven
to keep in the forefront of educational advance.
No graduate need be ashamed of his diploma.
Nevertheless, the editors feel that the institu-
tion's usefulness can be materially advanced
through a frank discussion of topics concerning
the advancement of the interests of the Univer-
sity. The quickest, easiest and best method, if
you have something to suggest, is to publish it
in "Old Maryland. " How are we to better con-
ditions, if we never hear complaints? There-
fore, "Old Maryland" desires to stand shoulder
to shoulder with every agency working for the
uplift of the University of Maryland, and
freely offers her pages to those interested in
creating and crystallizing any movement which
promises to be of service.

AN EXPLANATION.

The success of "Old Maryland" will be in
direct proportion to the co-operation received
by the editors from graduate and undergrad-
uate. "We have not entered lightly into the
publication of ' ' Old Maryland, ' ' but thoroughly
realize the difficulties and pitfalls which we
shall encounter, and are determined to make it
a telling force in the life of the University.
Simply because a man has received his diploma,
has left the portals of his Alma Mater and is
launched upon the sea of life does not signify
that he has lost all interest and love in her
success. In most instances this apathy comes
about from lack of some avenue for the
graduate to voice his sentiments concerning
improvements in the conduction of affairs of
his Alma Mater. In oi'der to supply this need,
the editors not only offer the pages of "Old
Maryland" to our Alumni, but solicit state-
ments of opinion. A very simple hint let drop

Encouraging News for the Practice Court.

Mr. Randolph Barton, Jr., in charge of the
Practice Court of the Law Department, has
great hopes for the future of our embryo law-
yers. When interviewed at his office recently,
he expressed surprise and gratification at the
admirable manner in which our students pre-
sented their cases before the Practice Court.
"Indeed," said he, "I have been more thai)
once won over to the opposite side by the forci-
ble arguments of the students when I had al-
ready made up my mind that. there was but one
possible way for the case to be decided. There
Avere certain men that argued their points
so well, I would, without hesitation, have
been willing to let them try a similar case for
me in the Baltimore City Court." Mr. Barton
was also pleased at the intelligent way in which
the students attending the trials voted upon
the questions of law at the close of each case.
They have rarely failed to grasp the vital points
at issue.

OLD MAEYLAND.

135

Surely such honest praise from oue \vho has
the interests of tlie Practice Court so close at
heart should spur us on to redoubled effort to
make a name for oi^rselves and bring credit to
the University.

The Practice Court is contemplating some
changes in the near future in order to give
each student opportunity to try more cases
during the year. At present there is hardly
time for a man to try more than one or two
cases in a year owing to the large number of
students enrolled, lack of court rooms and the
time devoted to the work.

It is proposed to double the time now allotted
by holding court two nights a week instead of
one as heretofore. It will be so arranged that
students assigned to the courts for one night
M'ill not be required to attend the work of the
second night, and vice versa. The discussions
in pleading which take up the first half hour
are to be duplicated on both nights.

Mr. Barton has not fully formulated his
plans for this work as yet, for there are many
details to settle upon before the new scheme can
be put in practice ; but it is hoped that the diffi-
culties involved may easily be surmounted, and
that the students may soon reap the benefit of
greater opportunity to exercise their forensic
powers.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Hon. Mr. Eli Prank offers the suggestion
that the reading pages of "Old Maryland"
could be made more useful if members of the
several departments would occasionally fur-
nish technical subjects of general interest in
popular style, thereby making the topic accessi-
ble not only to members of the several depart-
ments, but also to the general public; e. g.,
"The Relation of Dentistry to the Digestive
System and the General Health." A capital
idea! The editors are in hearty accord with
Mr. Frank and will make every endeavor to
supply the articles of the above character.

OUR POLICIES.

"Old Maryland" was founded ten years ago
by Dr. hlugene h\ Cordell, of the medical de-
partment 01 tlie University. Although receiv-_
mg iittle encouragement and working alone for
many years, Dr. Cordell strove to Dring into
being a "University Spirit." In order to
briug this more speedily to fruition he founded
and edited '"Old Maryland," a periodical,
which from the very first became a force in
creating new policies in the University. At
such a receut period as ten years ago each de-
partment held aloof from the other. There was
nothing in common. It was Dr. Cordell 's am-
bition to so weld the interests of the several
departments that the University might, through
greater unity, assume its proper sphere in the
educational world.

"Old Maryland" has not heretofore meant
as much to the undergraduate body as it should.
Perhaps the students failed to appreciate that
the columns of the paper were always open to
them for publishing those events and doings
which are dear to the heart of every college
man which are required to stimulate and to
keep alive an active interest among the students
of the various departments. All the students of
the University should awaken to the fact that
"Old Maryland" is their own paper, and es-
sentially for their benefit. It is our object
to continue the work of Dr. Cordell in welding
the University more compactly together so that
it will represent a unit^. We desire to keep
up and raise still higher the tone and prestige
of the University. Each department is to be
more completely represented than heretofore
in each issue.

Then let us all work together for a greater
solidarity of the associated departments of our
University. Let us tear down class cliquish-
ness and departmental factionalism and build
up a powerful "University Spirit" which shall
give us a Samsonlike strength to accomplish
great things for the University of Maryland.

Nothing can do more for the practical work-
ing of this unifying process than a wide-awake,
broad-minded University Paper devoted to the
interests of all departments, social and intel-
lectual. To make this paper and its work a

136

OLD MAEYLAND.

success, we need the hearty and serious co-
operation of the whole of the Faculty, Alumni
and Student Body.

We must make "Old Maryland" a paper to
be sought after, not only for its social features
and unifying standard raising qualities, but
also because of its true worth and value in
bringing help of a more serious intellectual
nature before the students.

We are undertaking to publish:

Leading articles of practical value to all
the students by members of the faculty and
other public men.

Shorter topics of educational worth.

Encouraging reports of student work in
every department.

JNews items of class and department ac-
tivity.

The latest official announcements from
faculty headquarters.

An open quiz box.

An open column entitled, "Quips,"
where we will be glad to receive helpful
' suggestions and criticisms of our work.

Articles and news items from members
of the Alumni.

Personal items.

Items of general interest.

With the December issue "Old Maryland"
is increasing the number of its pages from six-
teen to twenty, and confidently expects to
publish a thirty-two page journal in January,
provided ■ we have the pi'oper backing of the
students. We cannot do all this without the
personal support of every student, member of
the teaching force, and the Alumni of the en-
tire University. It is absolutely necessary to
have financial backing for the actual expenses
of the journal. The Board of Editors receives
no compensation for their services, but the
printer will not work for the love of the Uni-
versity. We, therefore, expect every student
of the University to lend us his material aid
in the form of a subscription to "Old Mary-
land," at $1.00 a year

We will greatly appreciate advertisements
of a high grade and are always ready to re-
ceive news of interest to the students. It's
your paper. Help us to make it a success.

GET TOGETHER, BOYS.

The editors of "Old Maryland" learn with
the utmost concern that there is a rift in the
skies of the undergraduate body of the law
department. The controversy hinges upon the
class organizations. The old university boys
feelthat they should be given the presiden-
cies of the several classes, and the new students
from the Baltimore Law School believe they
should be accorded more generous recognition.
We would suggest that both sides give some.
Having been students ourselves, we know how
dear to the heart of the student are the class
officers, but in this case more is at stake than
mere personal gratification. The University
of Maryland is coming into its own. A new
spirit permeates the atmosphere. Everybody
is hopeful of seeing a new and grander edifice
rise from the groundwork already planted.
There is a spirit of co-operation between the

OLD MAiiYLAiMD.

137

various faculties, which until only recently was
lacking. A spirit of pride in our old University
pervades students, faculties and alumni alike.
Such being the case, the editors of ' ' Old Mary-
land" look upon the unsettled status of the
undergraduates of the law department as a
snake which should be scotched before it has
time to raise its head. Students of this de-
partment should lay aside their personal griev-
ances, especially at this time, and unite in en-
hancing the prestige of "Old Maryland," as
only with united forces is our future assured.
We would respectfully suggest that an arbitra-
tion committee composed of three members,
one from the old Baltimore Law School, one
from the old University of Maryland Law
Faculty, and a disinterested outside party, be
constituted to hear the arguments of the op-
posing factions, and that the factions agree to
abide by the decision as handed down by the
committee. This proposition seems to offer a
feasible solution of the difficulty.

if the above plan be not agreeable an ad-
mirable alternative would be the election of
two sets of officers for each class. The day and
night classes have nothing in common, save
attending the same university and lectures by
the same men. They are as absolute a physical
division as hills and rivers. The members of
each division seldom come into contact with
each other, do not know each other when they
meet accidentally, have practically nothing in
common, and are to all intents and purposes
two distinct schools. The division having the
largest number naturally outvotes the other
and elects the officers. Therefore, we respect-
fully submit that the day and night classes
elect their own oiScers, however, not doing
away with the fact that they are senior, inter-
mediate and junior classes of the University of
Mai-yland.

"United, we stand; divided, we fall."

EDITORIALETS.

It is rumored that Mr. Charles H. Grasty,
editor of the Baltimore Sun, is to deliver a
series of lectures upon current topics to the stu-
dent body. A bully idea ! The Regents are to
be congratulated upon the inauguration of such
a series, but especially in obtaining one so well
versed in public affairs. By the bye, it oceui's
to the editors of "Old Maryland," that the

same Mr. Grasty is excellent timber for a Uni-
versity of Mar'yland LL.D. Merely a sugges-
tion, but worth while considering.

Why not a combined graduation banquet, in-
stead of the small medical department affair?
Surely a large affair of this character is a good
advertisement and would impress the speakers
and public with the magnitude of the institu-
tion.

"A University of Maryland." Everybody
should get behind Dr. Fell and push along the
idea of "A University of Maryland."

' ■ Old Maryland ' ' wishes that all of its read-
ers may enjoy a very merry and gladsome
Christmastide.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

The following official announcement from the
Secretary's office has been eagerly awaited by
the Senior Law Class.

The subject for Thesis for the scholastic
year of 1913-14 is: "A written argument for
or against the constitutionality of the Webb-
Kenyon Bill."

A member of Congress from Maryland has
been requested to furnish the University with
sufficient copies of the bill to supply each mem-
ber of the Senior Class with a copy.

Each thesis must be typewritten and contain
not less than three thousand Avords. It must
represent original investigation on the part of
the student. In no case will a mere compila-
tion of authorities be accepted. Theses must
be handed in on or before May 1, 1914. Each
writer must attach to it a sealed envelope con-
taining his name.

The attention of the students is called to the
fact that the Faculty will require a high stand-
ard of excellence in the theses.

Mr. Samuel Waut announces for the month
of December the folJoAving official schedule of
class quizzes for the Law Department:
Junior Class — •

Tuesday, 5-6 and 6-7 P. M.
Friday, 7-8 P. M.
Intermediate Class —
Tuesday, 4-5 P. M.
Thursday, 4-5 P. M.
Friday, 5-6 P. M.

138

OLD MARYLAND.

Senior Class —

Monday, 5-6 P. M.
Wednesday, 4-5 P. M.

These quizzes are a part of the regular work
of the Law Department. Being ofticial, there
is no charge whatever connected with them.
It is hoped that the students will avail them-
selves more generally of this opportunity to
receive special help on difficult problems that
confront them than they have heretofore.

Mr. Randolph Barton, Jr., will begin his
course of three or four lectures on Legal Ethics
to the Senior Class on Friday, December 12.
They will be given in the Intermediate Class
Hall from 8.00 to 8.30 P. M., just prior to the
session of the Practice Court. The Pleading-
exercises win continue as usual during the same
half hour in the Anatomical Hall for the bene-
fit of the Intermediate Class.

At a recent meeting of the Faculty and Board
of Instructors of the Law Department the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed, viz:

Resolved, That the petition of the Senior
Class for exemption from the subjects of Bank-
ing Law and Medical Jurisprudence be refused
because it was not deemed feasible or proper to
grant the request.

Resolved, That a committee consisting of the
Dean and Messrs. Frank and Rawls, be and it
is appointed to select the Committee on Thesis
of membei's of the Bar and to determine the
method of examination of theses before sub-
mission to such outside committee.

Resolved, That the students be requested to
make monthly reports of their attendance on
lectures, beginning December 1st, on blanks to
be supplied for that purpose.

Resolved, That the members of each class be
requested to inaugurate and enforce an honor
system and to that end to appoint committees
for putting the system into effect.

Resolved, That the subject for the thesis for
this year be as follows : That the students sub-
mit an argument for or against the constitu-
tionality of the Webb-Kenyon Bill.

If ought's to be done

Let's do it, once, well;
If ought there's to speak, —

Think twice — 'fore we tell.

ITEMS— GENERAL.

Academic Day was observed by the Univer-
sity of Maryland, November 11, 1913, at the
Westminster Presbyterian Church, Payette and
Greene streets, to commemorate the one hun-
dred and twenty-fourth anniversary of the
opening of St. John's College, the department
of arts and sciences of the University. A fea-
ture of the occasion was the presentation to
the University by Dr. John G. Hammeter of
Prof. Adolph Schmidt, privy councilor to the
German Emperor and jjrofessor of medicine at
the University of Halle, upon whom the
honorary degree of doctor of laws was con^
ferred. The faculties of the University were in
full academic dress. The full brass band from
St. John's College at Annapolis furnished music
for the occasion. The ceremonies began at
10.30 o'clock and lasted until the early after-
noon. Besides the students from St. John's
College, three hundred in number, there were
present the students from the various depart-
ments of the University, members of the
faculties, alumni, and regents. The principal
orator of the day was Mr. Charles H. Grasty,
of The Sun, whose theme was, ' ' The New Force
Behind the New Freedom." Dr. Randolph
Winslow, professor of surgery in the University,
read a memorial paper upon the late Dr. Eu-
gene F. Cordell. Following the ceremonies in
Westminster Church, a luncheon was served
at the Hotel Enlerson, at which about forty
guests were present. Provost Fell presided
as toastmaster. The menu Avas as follows :

Rock Tangier Cocktail

Celery Olives Radishes

Chicken Gumbo

Filet of Halibut, Sauce Supreme

Potatoes, Persillade

Roast Stuff Turkey

Green Peas Cranberry Sauce

Lettuce and Tomato Salad

Fancy lee Cream

Assorted Cakes

Coffee

As a climax to the day's celebration, about
fifty leading members of the University's
alumni association met at the Hotel Emerson at
dinner in the evening at whicn Mr. Albert C.
Ritchie acted as toastmaster.

On motion of Dr. Sadtler, duly seconded, and
unanimously passed, it was resolved that where-
as the Alumni of this University are alive to
the advantages of co-operation among, and
unification of the state educational agencies,
that the Executive Committee of the General
Alumni Association heartily endorse the action
of Dr. Pell in his efforts to create sentiment for
a State University, and tenders him the sup-
port of the General Alumni Association in this
movement. The Secretary was instructed to
forward a copy of this resolution to Provost
Pell.

That the first of a series of smokers to foster
University spirit, and the State University idea,
be held on December 10th, 1913; tha,t arrange-
ments be made for these meetings to be ad-
dressed by representative men ; and that Edgar
Allan Poe, Esq., Dr. Randolph Winslow and
Hon. Walter I. Dawkins be, and they are here-
by designated as a committee to secure the
attendance of Governor Goldsborough, at the
smoker to be held on December 10th, with the
request that the Governor deliver an address

of about one-half liour in length, giving his
views on the subject of a State University.
The Secretary was instructed to forward this
resolution to Dr. Fell with a letter urging him
to secure the attendance of the faculties at this
smoker. The Secretary was also instructed to
write State Senator W. M. Maloy to address
this meeting.

MEDICAL.

Doctors Randolph Winslow, Arthur M:. Ship-
ley, J. Mason Hundley and Frank Martin have
just returned from Chicago, having spent from
November 11 to November 14 there, attending
the meetings of the "Clinical Congress of Sur-
geons of North America," and of the "First
Convocation of the American College of Sur-
geons."

The latter organization, the A. C. of S., was
founded sometime ago in order that some
method might be obtained whereby the practice
of surgery could be restricted to men fully
qualified to operate.

Drs. R. Winslow, Shipley, Hundley and Mar-
tin, were made Fellows of the A. C. of S., which
is equivalent in the United States, to being a
member of the British R. C. of S.

Drs. H, M. Fitzhugh, '97, of Westminster,
George Colbourn, '11, W. C. Chowning, '04,
were recently visitors to the University.

Dr. Asa Thurston, '09, of North Carolina,
also stopped in at the hospital ou his way home
from New York, where he has been taking a
general post-graduate course at the N. Y. Post-
Graduate School.

We are glad to report that Prof. R. Dorsey
Coale, Dean of the Medical Department, who
has been ill at his home, is convalescing.

Among the Alumni present at a very enjoy-
able gathering at the Chi Zeta Chi Fraternity
house November 15, were : Drs. Jos. T. Smith.

Join the General Alumni Association, and be-
come a live member. We asked a few medical
men to come to our annual Alumni Banquet
and — some said they would, if nothing else
turned up. Some, that they had better use for
their money. Some, aye, some had the* nerve
to say: "What's the use."

Well some of us easily lose what little Uni-
versity spirit we had, when we graduate. Too
easily we forget the dear associations begotten
here, and far too easily we forget and neglect
any obligations we are under — obligations too,
which in no way can be measured by $150.00 a
year and the privilege of your company.

Dr. William Culbert Lyon, class of 1907, an
assistant surgeon in the United States Navy,
and formerly of 1518 Mt. Royal avenue, this
city, is stationed at Galveston, Texas, where he
is chief medical officer of the new recruiting
district of the United States Navy in Southern
Texas. He is in charge of the medical exami-
nations, and passes upon the physical fitness of
all applicants for eidistment. This district has
been made necessary on account of the size of
Texas, and by reason of the great number of
desirable recruits that are obtained in the State.
Galveston has been selected as the headquarters
by reason of its being the chief seaport city.
Prior to his entering this arm of the service. Dr.
Lyon served in the army, from which he re-
signed to enter the navy. He is enthusiastic
over his present work, and it is largely due to
his energetic application to duty that the Gal-
veston district is forging to the front as an
enlistment center. The Navy Department is to
be congratulated on having the services of so
energetic and able a man.

Dr. Louis H. Douglas, class of 1911, who is
confined to the University Hospital with a frac-
tured skull received in an automobile accident,
is reported to be doing nicely.

Marlborough Apartments, this city, was ap-
pointed chief judge of Baltimore City by Gov-
ernor Goldsborough, November 14, 1913, to
succeed Judge Henry D. Harlan, dean of the
law department of the University, whose resig-
nation as chief judge will take place January
1, 1914. Mr. Soper will serve until the next
general election two years hence, when a judge
will be elected for the full term of 15 years.
Judge Harlan's term would have expired in
1920.

Mr. Soper was born in Baltimore, his father
having been the late Samuel J. Soper, the auc-
tioneerv He was educated in the public schools
of the city, was graduated in 1890 from the
Baltimore City College and in 1893 from Johns
Hopkins University. He was graduated from
the University of Maryland School of Law in
1895. Mr. Soper has always taken an active
interest in politics and was the Republican can-
didate for Attorney-General in the campaign
which resulted in the election of Governor
Goldsborough. On April 2, 1912, he was ap-
pointed a member of the Police Board, suc-
ceeding Colonel C. Baker Clotworthy, class of
1889. On June 6th he became president of the
Board.

In announcing the appointment of Mr. Soper,
Governor Goldsborough made the following
statement :

' ' The appointment to the office of chief judge
of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City, to
become vacant by the resignation of Judge
Harlan, has been offered to and accepted by
Mr. Morris A. Soper.

"I believe the people of Maryland and Bal-
timore are fortunate in having the mantle of
Judge Harlan fall upon so capable a man and
able a lawyer as Mr. Soper, who admittedly is
of splendid poise and judicial temperament.
He surrenders a lucrative practice, one yield-
ing a return greater than the salary of the
office to which he will be appointed.

"The duties of the office will be assumed
by Mr. Soper January 1, 1914, the date upon
which the resignation of Judge Harlan becomes
effective."

Writing in the Evening Sun, Mr. Charles
J. Bonaparte, ex- Attorney-General of the United
States, says:

"Governor Goldsborough's choice of Mr.
Morris A. Soper to succeed Chief Judge Harlan
has been generally and deservedly approved.
Old men, such as the writei', are prone to think
of Mr. Soper as a young lawyer, but he is really
at the beginning of that age when a man can be
most useful on the bench and, in fact, is a
good deal older than Judge Harlan was when
the latter succeeded the late Chief Judge
Brown.

"Mr. Soper has emphatically 'made good'
in the several positions of public trust which
he has held, and almost our only reason to re-
gret his elevation is his loss to the work of tlie
Police Board. That a man of his growing prac-
tice and professional success should be willing
to accept a judgeship is somewhat unexpectedly
gratifying, and, in fairness, it must be con-
sidered as, in some measure, an offset to Judge
Harlan's retirement in determining the neces-
sity for an increase in our judges' salaries."

"Old Maryland" desires to take this occa-
sion to congratulate Mr. Soper upon his eleva-
tion to the bench.

Arrangements are being made for the annual
meeting and banquet of the Bar Association of

Prank, class of 1896. Mr. Sappington and Mr.
Prank are the incumbents of the offices and
were renominated.

has been ill for more than a month at his home
at Towson, Md., has recovered and is able to
be out again. He was welcomed by a number
of his friends.

"My dear Doctor Winslow : A' touch of the
old days was granted me through a copy of
"Old Maryland," November issue, and that
I have been out of touch with Baltimore affairs
through the strenuous work of my new posi-
tion will be understood when I say that not
until a little while ago did I know of Dr. Cor-
dell's death. It was a shock, and knew it was
a loss to material interests of the University
of Maryland.

"Pew men were granted the opportunity of
knowing Dr. Cordell as did I whilst our official
work for the Endowment Fund of the Univer-
sity of Maryland brought us into intimate re-
lationship and allowed me to discover the in-
tense and loyal earnestness of the man to place
his loved institution beyond the possibility of
financial disaster and to make it a continuing
instrument in the educational welfare of the
state.

"He was peculiar, but intensely loyal, and
I admired the persistency of his efforts to gather
together an Endowment Fund for the Univer-
sity of Maryland, and during my incumbency
of the Treasurer's office of that Fund his efforts
were responsible for a large measure of the
subscriptions that were received and applied
to that purpose.

"I admired him as a man and as a servant
of the institution which he so highly honored

be very generous and distinctive.

ACADEMIC.

The first formal hop was held in the gymna-

The regular fall meeting of the Maryland
State Association of Graduate Nurses, was held

UNDERGRADUATE NOTES MEDICAL

The President of the Junior Class, Mr. Black-
mer, is at present ill af the University Hospital

Dr. Mitchell paid us a pretty compliment,
when he said that his greatest source of pleas-
ure is as a teacher of medical students, for
which we thanked him by a generoiis applause.
May he long be with us!

J. I. Justice, better known to his class-mates
as "Squire" Justice, is. the famous gas blower
from West Virginia. Said gentleman has
served several terms in the West Virginia Leg-
islature where he became known as a great
foe of graft. At present, he spends his Winters
studying medicine ; in the Summer, he sells in-
surance — and, by the way, the "Squire's" mar-
ried.

Who said "Glee Club?"

The Spanish-American War Treaty has not
yet been signed owing to the fact that Generals
Quevedo and Eby have not opened negotiations.

It seems that this is a suitable opportunity of
welcoming the students of the former Baltimore
Medical College. They have been in our midst
for a period of about two months, and a finer
group of young men would indeed be hard to
find ; men in every sense of the word.

It is indeed a pleasure to welcome them. The
amalgamation has been of signal benefit to us ;
first, because of the association; second, the
keen competition.

They will all be a credit to our Alma Mater,
and the time is not far off when their doings
will reflect to the glory of the University of
Maryland. Welcome !

On November 1, 1913, at a meeting of the

Class hold an informal dance some time be-
tween Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the
following committee was appointed: L. R.

We certainly must hand Mr. Rush, of Acci-
dent, Md., a lot of credit. He "shore is some

he now appears to us, with his hat off, like a

The first half of the class has decided that
there are many more, indeed very man}' more
diabetics in Baltimore than they had previously
thought. Dr. Whitney has disillusioned them.
Also there are a good many sore fingers in the
class.

The lecture-rooms are hot on warm days, and
on cold days are freezing. The colored gentle-
man should be instructed to furnish the require-
ments.

LEGAL.

The Law men did not show a very crowded
l)halanx on Academic Day, but what they
lacked in numbers they amply made up by a
spirited leadership in class yells, which may be
significant of future oratorical flights in for-
ensic debate.

The Law Department is to be congratulated
on the new system of handling the Practice
Court, brought to us by our uniting with the
Baltimore Law School. The new Practice;
Court has abolished the lengthy examination of
witnesses, supplies a prepared statement of
facts in its stead, and confines its worlv strictly
to the argument of the prayers prepared by
each side. Fifteen minutes ai-e allotted to
counsel of each side, thus bringing out the sub-
stance of the ease within an hour, and keeping
the trial from dragging out toward midnight
as was formerly the ease. The acting jiadges
lend suggestions to the attorneys, act as a jm'y
in settling the facts, and explain the difficult
technical points at the close of each case. The
members of the class appointed to each court
sit as a bank of judg'es to decide the law of the
ease as brought out by the prayers.

Mr. Randolph Barton, Jr., supervises the
work of the courts, assisted by Messrs. G.
Ridgely Sappington, Forest Bramble, Samuel
Want and German H. Emory, who preside as
judges over the four divisions.

A set of trial rules with regard to the filing
of papers, and the working of the court, keeps
the men on their mettle, and while perhaps a
trifle irksome at times, the student body appre-
ciates the fact that close application to the
work of the court will give them much material
benefit in the two years devoted to the work.

Credit is due to Mr. Benj. R. Powell, for his
painstaking work as Court Clerk, in solving the
man}^ riddles of amateur brief filing. We trust
he may be saved many grey hairs by a little
additional care on our part in preparing and
filing papers.

The Secretary of the State Board of Law
Examiners, Col. John Hinkley, reported an en-
rollment of ninety-two applicants for admission
to the State Bar this Fall. Our hopes and fel-
low-feeling go out to those of our number who
have so recently passed through this ordeal.

We should all of us appreciate the -work of
Mr. Samuel Want in promoting the interests of
the University by undertaking to raise money
for painting the interior of Davidge Hall. We
trust we may soon have sufficient funds to ac-
complish this object.

On Saturday, November 22, the Faculty and
Tutorial Staff of the Baltimore Law School held
a farewell banquet at the Hotel Rennert. After
a very excellent menu had been enjoyed by
those present the Hon. Alfred S. Niles, as toast-
master, led the speechmaking.

After many interesting addresses had been
given, reviewing the various phases of the
school's work, the keynote of the evening was
struck in a ringing speech by G. Ridgely Sap-
pington, Esq., who highly commended the ac-
tion of the Law School in uniting with the Uni-
versity of Maryland, saying it was a big step
in the right direction toward raising the stand-
ard of the legal profession in the State of
Mai'yland. With siich hearty co-operation on
the part of our newly acquired co-laborers the
University of Maryland cannot fail to rise to
greater heights than ever before.

■ Certain law lecturers spoke to empty benches
the evening of Academic Day, and one of them
lost a lecture by trading off nights with another

ulty of suspension of lectures?

It was sad to notice the family rupture in the

PHARMACEUTICAL.

We hope the faculty will get behind the
pharmaceutical associations before the meeting
of the next Legislature and use their influence
to have a bill framed and passed compelling
applicants for the "State Board" to be a phar-
macy school graduate.

Judging from the small number of senior stu-
dents who attended the exercises at Westmins-

movement of the University. The Association
is the one organization that is cosmopolitan in
the scope of its work. It is non-sectarian;
every man who is interested in the development
and uplift of the University should be a mem-
ber. If you have not already joined, see a
member and affiliate at once. We need you.

The University needs; a glee club, an athletic
organization, a weekly publication; also a

ments can meet ; and more University spirit.
Through an organization that is cosmopolitan.
these things can be brought about. Are you
one to help?

A series of six addresses on ' ' The Fundamen- ■

held in Davidge Hall on Thursday evenings.
Three of these meetings have already been

QUIPS.

Doubtless the title of this collection of
thoughts upon things as they are, and were, and
will he, needs some explanation, and therefore
for the edification of the peruser it behooves
that a few words be set up in print; having
thusly construed our major premise we pro-
ceed to the redueto nach absurdum of the con-
cession — an apology as 'twere. This column
absolutely has no reason for its existence ; it has
simply been inserted incidentally, so to speak,
in the midst of the others in order that the
out of the way ideas might find fructiferous soil
in which to fructuate. As to its aristocracy it
might simply and with pride state that it is
a cousin by marriage to "The Free Lance,"
on the maternal side a distant half -aunt to ' ' The
Phillistine," and through its grand-imele a

nephew of the mother-in-law of the composer
of "The Anvil Chorus," and being of a harm-
less and peaceful disposition there need but lit-
tle else be said, thus proving beyond a shadow
of a doubt that, as Laennec well said, "A stitch
in time is worth 2 in the bush."

A dicrotic wave of approval has arisen
ad sidra over the outcome of the much looked
forward to Academic Day. Certainly it is the
day of days around the University when there
is cause for rejoicing. Of a priore importance
is the holiday for by virtue of which the cadets
are enabled to get to Baltimore when the
Gayety has the. best matinee, the lawyers are
able to keep an evening engagement that other-
wise would go begging, the pharmacists are
given the opportunity to go over to Sharp &
Dohme 's and flirt with the pill girls at work, the
dentists are thereby permitted to walk up and
down Lexington street to their hearts' content
and the physicians and surgeons are enabled
to have time enough to review a part, at least,
of their back work. Blackstone is often quoted
as saying, "the better the day the better the
deed." (Item — The omission of the Depart-
ment of Nurses was not intentional, for on
the other hand the writer of this column has
them constantly in mind, but the reason for the
omission can be readily summed up in one
quotation, to wit: "Man's work is from sun to
sun, but Woman's work is never done," and
secondly that although the King proclaim peace
and a holiday in all the land the handlers of the
thermometer and hypo, and ice-cap must even
yet remain on the job and keep the "t. i. d. 's."
and the "q. necessary's" and the "c. c. 's."
from going to the bow-wows. Selah!

Thus spake Shakespeare in the days of old,
"but the saddest of these is the human mind
deranged." Can it be that recently he has in
spirit our venerable univ. ? This inquisition
had been prompted by the seeing of siipposedly
rational beings that haunt our above-mentioned
venerable univ., and in the haunting thereof
have been seen attired in the most atrocious of
hats (a seim-helmet shape Avith a . double
streamer of gaudy green) and at times are seen

carrying mysterious bundles and on whom a
shave would undoubtedly prove of cosmetic
benefit. Of their conduct a trace of the milk of
human kindness forbids any comment. But
why should we comment on the actions and
apparel of our fellow man? When we see one
'midst us that persistently Avears a mackinaw,
or an Elbert Hubbard necktie, or a slouch hat,
or blunt pointed shoes, or green shirts, or
princenez specks, or walks up Charles street
at mid-day sans chapeau, do we not glance his
way and sigh and envy him, saying within our
innermiost soul that he is an artist, or a musi-
cian, or a poet, or per chance, a genius? The
psychologists even go so far as to claim that
Buddah was a paranoiac, and Bay View is full
of people with individual peculiarities.

It has been figured out by those whose minds
run to figures (kind not specified) that one-
third of our natural lives is spent in sleep. Also
from a therapeutic standpoint it has been
figured out by those whose minds run to figures
(ditto) that the efficiency of sleep is increased
about 31444957ths by comfort. Now, the facts
stare us in the face that in order to sleep right-
ly we must be comfortable, and that further-
more as many of us are given to napping dur-
ing the course of a lecture, it folloAvs that some
word as to the comfort of the nappers might
be of service in siich a dept. as this lays (or lies,
as the case may be) out as its presenting symp-
tom. Have you, gentle reader, ever.sat for one
solid hour, or two, or even three, in the knee-
chest position on those abominable seats in
the amphitheatre? Have you ever tied your
corpus at mentis into a Gordian knot or as-
sumed the contvire of a pretzel in the seats at
the Maryland General Hospital from 12 till 2?
How the proposition of comfort affects our
subconscious minds when we have worked hard
all day and come back to the little flat and don
the smoking jacket and devour a home-cooked
supper and drape ourselves o'er the Morris
chair and light up the pipe and ease the weary
feet into the roomy knitted slippers and take
Helen's hand that idly wanders 'round our
neck and with a gentle squeeze ask, "What is
it?" And when she tells us that the new hat
costs only 40 bucks, do we rave and tear up

the evening paper with the Mexican situation
to smithereens and lunge a savage kick at the
cat which has domestically rubbed its purring
back against the outstretched limbs ? No !
Again, no ! The chances are ten to six and five-
eighths that we will take out the ever-r,eady
purse and count out 50 beans and give 'em to
Helen and murmur: "Is-ki-bib-bell. " And
the moral of this fable from those of Aesop (be- .
cause I was with Mr. A. E. Sop when he wrote
it and he 'splained it to me just as he intend-
ed it to be understood) is that it was not the
eat, nor the hat, nor the fern, nor the fire, but
it was, the Irish say, "les environs" or the
element of comfort, or the combo in toto.
Diagramatically speaking, you can't enjoy a
lecture, no matter how lectureafied the lecturer
be, when your intervertebral discs are sub-
jected to 41144 mm. Hg., to the sq. cc, or when
your vertebral column is assuming the con-
figuration of a pretzel !

November 24th, and at last the cold, sharp
air is smarting the face, forcing out a ruddy
glow. The law students are glad. Not be-
cause they are particularly fond of winter ; not
because the path, which Thomas Carlysle speaks
of when he says, "From the lowest depth there
is a path to the loftiest height," is 'more regu-
lar, more easily ascendable, to those who hope
to reach the top of this road, and become illus-
trious in the profession of law, during this sea-
son of the year.

The law students are glad for this reason,
They need no longer suffer the decrepitating
sensations experienced while attending the law
lectures held in the Anatomical Room of the
Medical Building. On the level, the janitor
seems to be afraid he might fall out of a win-
dow should he by chance open one. It is sur-
prising that those who are versed in the fatal
consequences of the lack of ventilation would
allow such conditions to exist. Possibly a visit
to the lecture halls in the Law Building would
be an inspiration.

Looking over a prominent law magazine the
other day, I was verj^ much impressed with
an advertisement of the one of the leading law
book publishing houses in this country, ap-
pearing on the front page. It read like this:

Tiffany on Real Property.

The American Classic on Real Property.
Herbert T. Tiffany, of the Baltimore Bar.
"Which ad. suggests the following remarks:

It seems to me that the Baltimore Bar re-
ceives its due proportion of prominence by the
brilliant work of its members and could there-
fore very well spare to the University the name
of our illustrious professor. Why not link the
law school with this American classic by sub-
stituting Professor of Law in the University
of Maryland, for, of the Baltimore Bar? In
the writer's humble opinion it would not only
be more pleasing to the eye, but would also, in
a great measure, lend prestige to the school.
Of course, it is incumbent upon all of us to
extoU the virtues of the University and I believe
by following out the above suggestion would
be one of the capital waj's of so doing. While
on my vacation down in the Old North State it
was with considerable pride that I could tell
the lawyers and students there, with whom I
came in contact, of the excellent course we
have in the law of real property. I suppose
the reason why I derived a peculiar pleasure
in conversing with them on this particular
course was because of the bare mention of Mr.
Tiffany's name as professor, seemed to be all the
support needed for the enthusiastic assertions
I would make concerning it.

Not that the lawyers and students elsewhere
are so fortunate as we, in that of knowing Mr.
Tiffany personally, but they know that he is
one of America's leading authorities on the
law of real i^roperty ; they know that he is
the author of the aforesaid classic. But they
do not know that this venerable institution
which, bj' the way, has a whooping big reputa-
tion throughout the South, has this dis-
tinguished authority as professor on the sub-
ject.

It seems some of the law men's "pecuniary
nerves ' ' are very sensitive. We are sure a dose
of "Old Maryland" will prove a good anetic.

She was married to Dr. Martin 17 years ago,
the wedding being a notable social event. She
was a charming hostess of marked beauty, and
was one of Baltimore's most popular society
women, taking great interest in the social life
of the city, of which she was a leader. Mrs.

GERMAN-AMERICAN INFLUENCE ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURE IN THE
UNITED STATES.

By John C. Hemmeter, M.D.

About eight years ago the author published
an article in the "Medical Library and His-
torical Journal" on the subject of "German-
American Influence in the Development of Med-
icine and Surgery" (see this Journal, Volume
4, September, 19U6, No. 3), and in 1909, by re-
quest of the National German-American Al-
liance (Deutsch-Amerikanisher National-Bund)
he published an exhaustive article in a work
called ' ' The Book of the Germans in America ' '
(page 323 J. The title of the article was "Ger-
man Teachers and American Professors," 154
biographies, which had special reference to
German influence on the development of Amer-
ican medicine and surgery. This book was pub-
lished by "Walthers," Third and Girard ave-
nues, Philadelphia.

As the future history of our country is
founded on the past and present, it is of im-
portance that the true merits of the various
races which compose our great nation be again
and again emphasized. One statement of a
great discovery or contribution to science is
rarely sufficient. It frequently occurs that
there are many claimants to the same discovery,
that is, they often think they have made a dis-

covery when the new thing to which they -lay
claim has already been the property of science
many years betore the date of their claims.
Personally i have had this experience with the
discovery of the new method of duodenal in-
tubation, which 1 published first in 1897 in the
"Johns Hopkins Hospital Medical Bulletin"
and demonstrated at a meeting of the Johns
Hopkins Hospital Medical Society when my
iriend, Simon Flexner, was in the chair. This
discovery was later claimed by i'ranz Kuhn, of
L'assel, still later by Einhorn, of New York,
both of whom simply modified the method and
used a tube which was already in vogue in my
clinic, though I had not published my own
modifications of the first method. The same
can be said of the method for enabling clinicians
to make use of the Roentgen rays, or X-rays,
for photographing difiierent portions of the gas
tro-intestiual tract. This has been claimed by
others and had to be re-claimed again and
again, and even at the present day there are
clinicians in this country who attribute this dis-
covery to Holzknecht, or Haudeck, of Vienna.

So it is not a tautology to bring to mind once
more the historic merits which the Germanic
races deserve in the intellectual, social and in-
dustrial upbuilding of the United States. As
I have, in those papers mentioned, dwelt mainly
upon medicine and surgery, I shall in the suc-
ceeding remarks bring to memory the acts and
accomplishments of the Germans in a political,
artistic, industrial and religious aspect:

No other nationality has stamped itself so
indelibly upon the population map of the United
States as has the German. There is not a State
in which the German-American does not stand
well at the top of the so-called foreign popula-
tion, and in 29 States this nationality leads all
others.

Stolid and phlegmatic are the two adjeeives
most frequently used in connection with the
German. None but the ignorant or unthinking
would use them.

OLD MARYLAND.

Do you call that race stolid that braved the
terrors of the Atlantic and made history on this
continent years before the Pilgrim Fathers
thought oi coming over?

Do you call that race stolid that furnished
the iirst uartyr in the struggle of the American
people for liberty?

Do you call that race phlegmatic that issued
the first written protest against slavery, right
here away back in 1688 ?

Do you call that race stolid that printed the
first Jbibie on this continent?

Do you call that race stolid that produced
the hero that first faced trial and suffered im-
prisonment in order that the freedom of the
press might be established in America?

Is that race phlegmatic that furnished five
of the chief oificers of the Revolutionary army,
that furnished 180,000 fighters to the Federal
army and the Civil War, of whom 5,000 were
officers, among them 9 major generals and 33
brigadier generals, when the conflict ended?

Is that race stolid that has always hrough-
out American history fought as well as pleaded
for liberty, that furnished ail of the 700 men
that, under Herkimer, fought the battle of Oris-
kany, the bloodiest conflict of the war for In-
dependence ; that fought from the siege of Bos-
ton to Yorktown; that sent the first regiment
to Washington when President Lincoln called
for volunteers; that took the bridge at Antie-
tam, held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg,
stormed Fort Fisher and marched with Sher-
man to the sea?

Many of our most celebrated living Ameri-
cans are of German birth, and it is greatly to
the race's credit that eminence in scholarship
and music stands first among them. I can name
at least fifty German ijrofessors in our univei'-
sities, whose names are world famous; I can
name more than thirty distinguished German
musicians in the country. In commerce, art,
religion, law, literature, polities, mechanics,
Germans stand in the front rank in surprising
numbers.

Leaders in Industry and Commerce.

Through their skill, their genius, their sta-
bility and enterprise, the Germans have always
been leaders in industry and commerce, and
now that I think about it, I do not recall find-

ing German names in any of our epidemics of
big swindling enterprises. German industries
are built to stand.

To the Germans in America we owe the first
paper mill and the first type foundry ; the Ger-
mans established the first chemical factories
and the greatest in the world are still run by
Germans here. They established the first
leather and gun factories, the first powder mills
and the first iron and glass works.

In business the Germans also have the Spreck-
els and Havemeyer families in sugar ; Frederick
Weyerhaeuser, credited with being wealthier
than John D. Rockefeller, because of his vast
timber holdings ; the Roeblings, father and son,
who first spanned Niagara's gorge and linked
New York and Brooklyn with marvelous
bridges, and founded cable wire spimieries in
a i\ew Jersey town that now bears the family
name ; George C. Boldt, of the Waldorf-Astoria
and other famous hotels, who sets the standard;
F. Augustus Heinze, whose name is stamped
deeiD in mining history ; Heinrich Wehrum, who
founded the great Lackawanna Iron and Steel
Works at Seneca and Buffalo, N. Y.

Notable Patrons of Art and Music.

It is a notable fact that the German never
gets so absorbed in sordid business as to have
his love of music, of art, of the finer things of
life, submerged. There is evidence of this in
every community, for the German business man
is ahvays a patron of the artistic, and his
patronage usually is proportionate to his in-
come.

Music, especially song, to the German is a
sort of worship. Evexy German knows the
songs of his country and sings them every time
occasion arises. That fact has had a wonderful
influence on the social life of this country. I
believe that the German singing societies have
done more than anything else to create and
cultivate a love of vocal music in the nation.
There are more than two hundred of these
societies in Greater New York, 84 of which
are in the Borough of Brooklyn. There are
38 such singing societies in St. Louis, and more
in Milwaukee.-

The great orchestras, such as the Philhar-
monic in New York, the Theodore Thomas in
Chicago, and the Boston Symphony, are Ger-

man in origin, in leadership, largely personnel,
but cosmopolitan in siij^port. All of us like
them. Theodore Thomas, Anton Seidl, Wil-
liam Gerieke, the Damrosches, Emil Paur, Gus-
tav Mahler, Frederick Stock, Carl Muck, Josef
Stransky and a long list of other brilliant con-
ductors have made Americans quite as familiar
with German composers as are the people in
the Fatherland.

Famous Professors in Universities.

I will mention only a few of the German
professors in our universities, just enough to
show the diversity of their specialties. There
is Hugo Munsterberg, the noted professor of
psychology in Harvard ; Kuno Fraucke, profes-
sor of German literature and history of German
culture and curator of the Germanic Museum
in Harvard, the man that first suggested the
exchange of professors between German and
American universities, which has worked out
successfully and is rapidly establishing a
stronger relationshiiD between the two coun-
tries; Paul S. Reinsch, professor of political
science in the University of Wisconsin, who was
the Roosevelt professor to the universities of
Berlin and Leipzig, in 1911-12, and is an
authority on international relation whose books
are translated into many foreign languages ;
Friedrich Hirth, of Columbia University, the
highest authority on China and the Chinese;
Julius Goebel, professor of Germanic languages
in the University of Illinois and noted author;
Paul Haupt, of Johns Hopkins University, pro-
fessor of Semitic languages and the greatest
authority on ancient civilization; John M.
Sehaeberle, astronomer, of the University of
Michigan and the Lick Observatory, who has
discovered three comets.

The development of art in this country owes
much to the Germans, and at all times the
names of German painters and sculptors have
stood at the top of the catalogue. Among those
that are world famous are Frederick Dielman,
Gari Melchers, Carl L. Brandt, Karl Marr,
whom we raised in Milwaukee and then sent
abroad to become professor in the Academy of
Fine Arts in Munich and win numerous decora-
tions for his paintings ; Charles H. Niehaus,
Albert Jaegers, William H. Funk and F. W.
Ruckstuhl.

15,000,000 German-Americans.

Six million Germans have emigrated to the

United States, and at present 15,000,000 men,
women and children, who are German either by
birth or descent, are in this country. There
are various estimates ranging from 13,000,000
to 18,400,000, but my investigations lead me
to believe that 15,000,000 in round figures is
right. That is about one-sixth of our total
poiDulation, and about 22 per cent, of the total
white population.

If all of our Germans could be gathered in
one State its pojaulation would be more than
equal to the combined population of Massachu-
setts, Connecticut, Maryland, Georgia, Louis-
iana, Minnesota, Kansas, Colorado and Utah.
There are more Germans in New York city than
in any city in the German Empire excepting
Berlin; there are more Germans in Malwauket
than in Bremen; more in Buffalo than in Hei
delberg. There are 93,000 Germans in Ken
tucky, over 56 per cent, of the foreign popula-
tion; there are 21,000 in Arkansas, 39 per cent,
of the foreign population, and in the District
of Columbia there are 19,000, about 28 per cent
of the foreign population.

We are now getting approximately 40,000
newcomers from Germany each year, and the
occupations of that host are significant. Of
those Germans that came in 1911, 7,390 were
farm laborers and 1,356 avowed farmers ; 1,728
were merchants; 1,108 were carpenters and
.joiners ; 1,911 were clerks and accountants ; 794
were bakers; 689 were tailors; 353 were teach-
ers ; 109 were sculptors and artists ; 206 were
musicians ; 72 were architects ; 103 were elec-
tricians and 295 were professional engineers.

The number of farmers and farm laborers
in that list is especially significant. Agricul-
ture is the backbone of American economy, and
the Germans in America have always been the
strongest vertebrae in that backbone. The
comparatively limited and meagre soil of their
homeland had taught the Germans to be frugal
farmers, and especially not to abuse the soil.
All parts of our country can testify to their
industry. No other farms are so carefully cul-
tivated, so Avell kept up or so generally pro-
ductive as those of the Germans, and no others
are so homelike. They are the best home-
builders. Prosperity follows the Teuton.
Wherever he settles a superior quality of citi-
zenship is sure to develop.

German Vote Turns the Scale.

Naturally such a hardy, numerous and in-
telligent people has had a marked influence
on American politics and has produced many
citizens who have distinguished themselves in
this time. I have often heard it maintained
that the German vote cannot be controlled. It
doesn't have to be. The German is a good voter
and can be depended on to exercise the fran-
chise intelligently. There is evidence that in
every important election for the past 50 years
the German vote has turned the scale.

Germans in politics date back to the be-
ginning of affairs in the United States. The
first speaker of the House of Rei^resentatives
was a German. He was August Muhlenberg,
son of one of the greatest of Revolutionary
heroes and grandson of Henry M. Muhlenberg,
founder of the Lutheran Church in America,
which now has over 2,000,000 members.

Ahead of the Pilgrims.

Facts very recently brought to light show-
ing the important part the Germans pla.yed in
the early history of this couutrj^ will be a sur-
prise for most readers and should make the
heart of every living German-American swell
with pride. I have said that they made his-
tory on this continent years before the Pilgrim
Fathers thought of coming over. I might truth-
fully have said nearly a century before, for
away back in 1.538, a German printer named
Cromberger got as near to us as Mexico and in
that year set up a i)rinting office in the City of
Mexico.

While Hudson was the discoverer of the river
bearing his name, a German, Hendrick Chris-
tiansen, followed closely after him and was the
real explorer of the river and surrounding
country. He made eleven expeditions to this
region and was the founder of New Amsterdam.

And here comes a shock for the Dutch
Doubtless all who read this had been taught,
for it is so written in all our histories, that it
was a Hollander who made that famous ■ pur-
chase of Manhattan Island from the Indians for
•1)24. The truth is that a German made that
bai'gain. He was Peter Minnewit (Minuit is
tlie usual spelling), a native of Wesel. lie
was director-general of New Netherlands and

in 1621, closed that transaction with the Man-
hattan (Manhattee) Indians, purchasing the
island for the Dutch. It was he who erected
the fortification in the present Wall Street
region and put the colony on a successful foot-
ing.

Another German, Jacob Leisler, from Frank-
fort, was the first to arouse in the colonists
that feeling of community interest which
eventually led to the overthrow of British rule
and the formation of the United States. After
the annexation of New Netherlands by the Eng-
lish, and during the foment in the colonies
caused by the crowning of William III, the
people of New York elected Leisler as their
temporary governor. To combat the attacks
of the French he called together the first Gon.-
gress of American colonies. He was tried on
the charge of being a demagogue and was
hanged in 1691. Leisler was that first martyr
in the struggle of the American people for
liberty referred to above.

It was only a few years later that Peter
Zender, a young German printer, started a
weekly paper in New York and made himself
so unpopular with the officials by constantly
criticising their actions that they first publicly
burned copies of his paper ; then when he kept
on criticising he was imprisoned and was that
first man to suffer in the cause of a free press
in America.

The First Real Colony.

The first Germans to come for the exj^ress
purpose of establishing a colony Avere the twelve
families who, driven from Germany by religious
persecution, arrived in Philadelphia in 1682.
Their settlement was then, and still is, called
Germantown, the city's best-known suburb.
Much American history, and of the very best
kind, was made by these Germantown Germans.
They printed the first Bible on this continent ;
they biiilt the first paper mill ; they molded the
first type ; there was printed our first religious
periodical ; and it was there that the fight
against slaverj^ was begun.

"First in war and first in peace" can truly
be said of the Germans in America. Captain
Dondel 's men were the first to arrive at the
siege of Boston. A German newspaper, the
Philadelphia "Staatsbote," was the first to

herald the birth of the American republic after
the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The outcome of our war for independence
might have been disastrously different if it had
not been for that noble Prussian officer, Baron
von Steuben, who arrived Avhen Washington's
few thousand discouraged men were suffering
in the desolate winter quarters at Valley Forge.
"Without pay, this former adjutant of Frederick
the Great took hold of the undisciplined colo-
nial soldiers and transformed them into eiScient
fighters. A recent history proclaims him as
the true originator of the American army.

This same historian also declares that it
seems very doubtful that in the Civil War the
preservation of the Union might have been ac-
complished without the patriotic support of the
German element. He points out that large
numbers of the German soldiers, espiecially
the ofScers, had received practical training in
the war academies and in the armies of the
German Empire and that the presence of so
many efficient officers and men was of the
greatest importance to the North, as at the out-
break of the war the Confederates had far the
greater number of officers trained at West
Point.

To tell the complete story of the services cf
General Peter Muhlenberg would almost be to
write the hisory of the Revolutionary War.
"Peter the Devil" they called this Lutheran
minister, who was easily one of the greatest
heroes as well as the most picturesque figure
among the generals in the war. Heroes all
were Carl Sehurz, Franz Sigel and Peter Os-
terhaus, in the Civil War ; and the supreme hero
among the officers in the Spanish- American war
was Admiral Schley, who also was of German
stock.

Carl Sehurz and the Forty-eighters.

It is doubtful that any other man of any
race every stamped his personality upon this
country more deeply than the late Carl Sehurz,
and in so many ways — as soldier, scholar, politi-
cal reformer, statesman and publicist. He was
of the second great period of German immi-
gration. The first period was from 1682 to
1775, when the immigration was induced by
religious motives. The second was in the 40 's
of the nineteenth century, prompted by politi-

cal considerations, the period that brought to
us the famous Forty-eighters, about twenty
thousand of the very best Germans of that gen-
eration. They were the patriots of that Ger-
man revolution of 1848 that failed. What this
country owes to the zeal, the statesmanship,
the battling qualities of those young patriots
who had been fighting for a free and united
Germany is inestimable. Fighters, writers, ora-
tors, they naturally became leaders. Carl
Sehurz was one of them. A Carl Sehurz pro-
fessorship endowed with $30,000, was recently
established by the University of Wisconsin,
and the chair is filled by a professor selected
from a univei-sity in the Fatherland. The third
great period of German immigration, beginning
with 1880, had a purely economic character.

The immigration reached its highest volume
in 1882, when 250,630 came from the Father-
land. From that year it gradually fell until
1898, after which date it slowly rose. From
25,000 to 46,000 per year halve been coming to
us during the last decade.

So marked has been the influence of the Ger-
mans in the United States upon our industry,
our customs, our daily life and so widely are
they distributed that the traveler from the
Fatherland has no need to look upon this as a
foreign country. Despite the fact that no other
race is so readily assimilated or fits better into
our institutions, we have to a large extent be-
come Germanized.

Evidences of German Influence.

Consider the German names you constantly
encounter while reading by the Welsbach light,
itself a German invention. More than likely
your American-made piano bears a German
name, and more often than any other you hear
the compositions of Germans — Bach, Beethoven,
Liszt, Strauss and the rest — played on it. At
the opera you listen oftenest to German mas-
terpieces, and to Wagner most of all.

Nearly every American city of any considera-
ble size, and many of population under 5,000,
have German newspapers and periodicals
(there are 600 of them, of which Wisconsin has
79), yet practically every one of them is sim-
ply an American publication printed in the Ger-
man language, showing that the Germans have
been as much Americanized as the country has
been Germanized.

Next in number to the German singing socie-
ties are the benevolent associations of this pecu-
liarly humanitarian race. But such work is
to me expected of the people of the nation that
first brought to perfection the old age pension
system and the employer's liability and work-
man's compensation.

The most comprehensive of all German socie-
ties in the United States is the National Ger-
man-American Alliance, founded 11 years ago
with the purpose of promoting all that is good
in German character and culture and particu-
larly that which might add to the Avelfare of
the United States, the adopted home of so many
millions of the race. The president of the al-
liance, which now has about two and a half
million members, is Charles J. Hexamer, of
Philadelphia, who should really have been in-
cluded in my list of prominent German-Ameri-
cans in the field of industry. By profession a
civil engineer, he has been awarded medals for
inventions, is the author of numerous technical
books, and has been decorated by the Emperor
of Germany for services in diffusing German
culture in America.

PRESENTATION OF GEHEIMER MEDIZI-
NALRATH ERNST ADOLF SCHMIDT,
PROFESSOR OF INTERNAL MEDICINE
AND DIRECTOR OF THE MEDICAL
CLINICS AT THE ROYAL PRUSSIAN
UNIVERSITY OF HALLE, GERMANY,
FOR THE HONORARY DEGREE OF DOC-
TOR OF LAWS.

By JOHN C. HEMMETER, M. D., Phil. D.,
Scient. D., LL. D.

ERNST ADOLF SCHMIDT, born 7, III,
1865, in Bremen, Germany, visited the Gym-
nasium in his birth-town, which he absolved
1884. Studied in Jena, Tubingen, Berlin, Bonn,
passed the state examination 1889, and received
the Doctor degree in the same year.

After that he visited several foreign towns
for information in medical sciences, Baltimore
and Washington too. In 1890 he became assist-
ant physician to Prof. Fr. Muller (now in
Munich, at that time in Breslau), on wliose
recommendation, he, in 1892, turned to Berlin

as assistant to the late Prof. G. Gerhardt, the
most famous German clinician.

In 1894 he came back to Bonn as private
docent for internal medicine, and stayed there
till 1902, when he was elected chief physician
of the Friedrichstadter Krankenhaus in Dres-
den.

In 1907 the Prussian Government engaged
him as Professor of internal medicine and di-
rector of the university-hospital in Halle, the
old famous medical school.

His scientific reputation was founded by his
investigations in human excrements, which
opened a new method of studying the functions
of the digestive tube. With that. Prof. Ad.
Schmidt first analyzed the different dyspeptic
troubles of intestinal origin. The result of his
various and important clinical studies in his
"Klinik der Darmkrankheiten," a standard
work, the first part of which was published
last year, whilst the second part is just coming
out.

Besides that, Prof. Schmidt has been much
occupied with gastric and pancreatic diseases
and has enriched the treatment of them with
several new and useful methods.

But also in diseases of the lungs and the
nervous system he has found some new facts
and conti'ibuted to the therapeutics. For in-
stance, he was one of the first authors to
elaborate t he treatment of pulmonary dis-
eases with the introduction of air into the
])leura, the so-called artificial pneumothorax.
Furthermore, he gave the impulse for treating
the rheumatism of the muscles with injections
of physiological salt solution, which sometimes
is of a striking effect.

Prof. Schmidt is editor of a manual of diag-
nostic and of the "Zentralblatt fur innere
Medizin."

Once a young fellow named T8

"I'm sorry to st8

But I "m married, ' ' said K8,

DOCTOR SAMUEL 0. CHEW.

A striking portrait of Doctor Samuel C.
Chew, of Roland Park, Baltimore, has just been
completed by Miss Marie de Ford Keller, the
Baltimore artist. The portrait was publicly
exhibited in the galleries of the Peabody In-
stitute. It is an excellent likeness and depicts
Doctor Chew seated in a big chair, wearing his
purple hooded gown. Since retiring in June,
1909, Doctor Chew has served as Emeritus Pro-
fessor of Medicine in the University of Mary-
land, from which institution he was graduated

with the class of 1858, thus having served his
Alma Mater in one capacity or another for
fifty-five years. His announcement of resigna-
tion from active tutorial service in June, 1909,
was received by those interested in the institu-
tion with genuine regret, as by his earnestness
of purpose and lovable traits he had endeared
himself in the hearts of those with whom his
duties had brought him in contact. He was
elected Professor of Materia Medica and Thera-
peutics in 1864, and upon the death of Professor
Richard McSherry in 1885, was transferred to

DR. SAMUEL C. CHEW.

the chair of Principles and Practice of Medi-
cine, later changed at Doctor Chew's request
to Professor of Medicine. He is one of the few
of the old school doctors left. "His varied ac-
complishments as a teacher, his urbanity, dig-
nity and pure character, his splendid influence
over the student body and over the alumni,
and his exalted position in the community as a
gentleman of the highest cultural refinement,
are distinctions which it is permitted few men
to reach in any calling of life." We are glad to
announce to Doctor Chew's many friends and
admirers that he is still enjoying excellent
health, and in behalf of the readers of "Old
Maryland" we wish our esteemed teacher the
compliments of the season and many, manj'
years more of health and happiness.

MEMORIAL TABLET TO DR. CORDELL.

Don't be backward in sending in your sub-
scription. Above all, don't feel slighted if you
are not personally solicited, as those in charge
of the fund believe the work of Doctor Cordell
in behalf of the University of Maryland suffi-
ciently meritorious to render a man to man
appeal unnecesssary. Surely enough interest
should be taken in this movement to forever
perpetuate the memory of a man who devoted
a large part of his time to the upbuilding of the
University. The committee thanks those who
have already subscribed, and earnestly solicits
further contributions so as to make the memor-
ial worthy of the man to whose memory it is to
be erected.

Our University is pretty well rounded out,
having depai'tments of medicine, law, dentistry,
pharmacy and arts and sciences. A pertinent
question occurs, however, why not a commer-
cial department? It occurs to us that the Bal-
imore Business College or some other similar
institution could supply this need. The pro-
gressive Western colleges have commercial
courses leading to the degree of B. A. St.
John's and the professional schools of the Uni-
versity are able to supply any extra lecturers
needed. This would be an advancement in the
interest of education as well as a distinct ad-
vantage to the business interests of our com-

The idea suggested by one of our editors in
the December issue of "Old Maryland," that
those connected with the teaching forces of the
University, when writing books, should sub-
scribe themselves as such, is a suggestion worth
while bearing in mind. The bare suggestion
certainly justified the existence of "Old Mary-
laud." It was a constructive criticism which
will repay the entire expense of that issue, if it
accomplishes the purpose which called it forth.

General.

Upon resolution duly seconded and unani-
mously passed, it was resolved that whereas it
is understood that Mr. Charles H. Grasty, pro-
prietor of the Baltimore Sun, is willing to de-
liver a course of lectures on current topics to
the students of the University, it is the senti-
ment of the Executive Committee of his Asso-
ciation (G. A. A.) that such a course should be
arranged, and the Provost is respectfully re-
quested to arrange it if possible. The Secre-
tary was instructed to send a copy of this reso-
lution to Dr. Fell.

Medical.

We have heard some remark that the reason
they don't work in the U. H. Dispensary, is
because "You get nothing out of it."

Well, we always thought you had to put
something into an enterprise before you got
any returns; and in all legitimate undertakings
and ventures, money or time or energy in-
vested — Brings Results.

Some of the alumni and undergraduates
ought to investigate thoroughly, and take up
as an interesting research branch, Dr. McEl-
fresh's pioneer work in dietetics and metabol-
ism. The future of medicine is there.

Drs. Vernon L. Oler, class of 1911, of How-
ard Park, Md., Cleveland D. Whelchel, class of
1913, of Georgia, Robert Glenn AlUson, class of
1912, of Saranac Lake Sanitarium, Walter C.
Bacon, class of 1911, of Eudowood Sanitarium,
and William E. Gallion, class of 1912, of Mary-
land, have been recent visitors to the old stamp-
ing grounds.

The engagement is announced of Dr. Clar-
ence Benson, class of 1909, of Port Deposit, Md.,
to Miss Krauss, of that city. The wedding will
take place shortly.

Legal.

The Bar Association of Baltimore City held
its annual meeting at the Hotel Rennert, on
Tuesday, December 2, 1913, at which the fol-

pingtou, class of 1881, Secretary; Eli Frank,
class of 1896, Treasurer; and Morris A. Soper,
class of 1895, and William L. Rawls, were
elected members of the Executive Committee.

The annual banquet which immediately fol-
lowed the meeting was presided over by the
newly elected President, Mr. Charles Morris
Howard, who also acted as toastmaster in .his
usual admirable and witty manner.

Hon. Ilenrj' D. Harlan, class of 1881, who is
about to retire as Chief Judge of the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore City after twenty-five years

of faithful service, was the especial guest of
honor, and was received with tumultuous ap-
plause when he arose to respond.

Fully ninety per cent, of the Bar, who were
iu attendance, liave sat at the feet of Judge
Harlan imbibing legal wisdom like the Israel-
ites of old at the feet of Gamaliel.

Mr. Morris A. Soper, who is to succeed Judge
Harlan as Chief Judge on January 1, 1914, was
also an honored guest, and was received with
great applause.

Other addresses were made by Hon. Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, Hon. John W. Davis, Solicitor General
of the United States, aud Hon. James Hamilton
Lewis, the picturesque Senator from Illinois.

Altogether the affair was the most successful
and enjoyable one ever held by the Bar Associ-
ation, and was attended by 260 members.

on a motorcycle. Guess who?

A meeting of the House Students was held
and Mr. A. S. Coleman was elected chairman
of the House Committee.

The House-men desire to congratulate Dr.
Mose Lichtenburg upon his recovery from his
recent tonsillectomy operation, and his return

an additional member of the editorial board of
"Old Maryland" from the Senior Class.

W. P. Stapleton has been appointed art
editor to "Old Maryland."

OLD MARYLAND.

Junior.

The third year class is certainly extremely
slow when it comes to handing out money ; but
then Christmas is so very close at hand and one
must wait to see if such condition is really a
chronic one.

On Tuesday, December 2nd, the first dance
of a series of this winter was held by the Junior
Class at Keating 's Hall, and believe us, chil-
dren, we had some time !

Every one (almost), was there wearing his
Sunday suit and his holiday smile. Talk about
your swell chicken — umm — class all the way
through.

The committee consisted of Messrs. Porter,
Jenkins, Jones, Fritz and Moses, which should
be congratulated on the success of the dance
after the difficulties ($).

Fellows, if you ever get married and want to
have good music in attendance, hire the only
one in captivity — Gustavus Anheuser-Busch-
Arrow-Fritz. He's a regular Ephraim Jones.

At present, however, he is suffering from a
headache as the result of thinking of the
question: "Who was the iirst dog who suffered
from rabies?"

Mr. Maximillian Stern, who left Baltimore
for his home on the 15th to regain some lost
health, is suffering from Ambulatory Pneu-
monia.

Mr. W. R. Johnson (one of the twins), has
returned from New York city. Said trip was
taken in the interest of social uplift — Down
with beer!

Mr. Elner has returned to mid-season form,
and is now back in the box doing his utmost to
bring home the bacon.

Who said something about the Junior class
waking up ? I think it was Dr. Carroll. Even
his glorious speech was not enough to elicit
one subscription to the "Old Maryland."

President Blackmer has returned to the class,
and seems to have recovered from his recent
illness.

We all wish our readers and friends a Happy
and Prosperous New Year.

Sophomore.

What we would like to know:

1. Why Stein does not comb his hair?

2. Why Long has a nude head?

3. Why Chandler wished to be ill?

4. Where Roberts gets his demi-shaves?

5. Who told Bishop to escort Roberts to the
football game while in kitchen attire ?

6. Who donated ten cents toward shaving
the hog bristles from Dr. Fulk 's handsome face ?

7. Who boards E. K. M. and his 30-foot
stomach ?

8. Who found a tuft of hair lost in the
vicinity of the U. of M. ? Finder please return
to Dr. Whittle.

9. When is the scheduled bout between Dr.
E. C. and our classmate, Thos. E. B., to be
pulled off?

10. Why does our friend C. S. persist in ap-
pearing in the lecture hall on Wednesday be-
tween 5 and 6 o'clock after roll call?

Good and welfare:

1. Better ventilation for our Chemical Hall.

2. One thousand twenty-five-cent contribu-
tions for our growing library.

3. Less scraping of feet during lectures.

4. More enthusiasm at our class meetings.

5. Abolition of hand clapping.

6. University Spirit (as shown Academic
day).

7. Less high school yelling before lecture.

8. Prompt dismissal by Prof. P.

9. Subscriptions for "Old Maryland."

10. An awakening of the drones who content
themselves with study only.

We wish to thank Dr. John C. Hemmeter for
his never ceasing interest in our behalf. Anj^
doctor who will lecture to his class while he is
visibly ill deserves the honor and respect of
his students. Again we compliment him on his
constant activities in our behalf.

Law — Senior.

The editorial policy of "Old Maryland," is
to recognize each class of the Law, Department
as consisting of two divisions, day and night;
the two divisions of each class constituting the
senior, intermediate and junior classes. "Old
Maryland" desires it to be distinctly under-

OLD MARYLAND.

stood that it is the representative of the entire
student body; not of any clique, or association,
its purpose is to give vent to student activities,
wherever they can be found.

Senior Law Banquet.

On Tuesday evening, December 16th, the
Senior Day Class of the Law Department, held
its first banquet of the season in the Blue Room
of the Hotel Belvedere. About fifty senior
men were present, well representing the leading
men of both day and night classes. The class
was highly favored in having with it, as guests
of honor, Chief Judge Henry D. Harlan, Judge
James P. Gorter and Mr. Howard Bryant, Esq.,
of the Baltimore Bar.

After a very excellent and well-served feast,
the digestion of which was aided by har-
monious music from the orchestra, Mr. E. F.
Johnson, who acted as toastmaster, introduced
the various speakers. In introducing Judge
Harlan he paid the highest tribute to him as
the Dean of the Law Department and said that
although it was with the deepest regret the
class saw him leave the bench they were grati-
fied to learn that he was to remain with them
as dean of the school.

Judge Harlan gave the students some sound
advice to follow if they were to be successful
in their chosen profession. He reminded them
of the value of tactfulness, of courtesy and con-
sideration for others, giving apt illustrations
showing where lack of these had marred the
success and standing of men he knew. Judge
Harlan also brought to the attention of the
students the necessity for an abundance of good
health which was a most valuable asset to the
lawyer in active practice. He was sorry to
notice that there were not more of the proper
kind of athletics among the students of the
Law Department. He cited incidents where
lawyers had won cases they should not have
won because of their sheer physical strength
which enabled them to hold their own in diffi-
cult or lengthy cases where the weaker man
failed.

Judge Gorter gave to the students an in-
teresting account of Judge Harlan's career,
how he had come as a country boy from Har-
ford County to Baltimore, had battled and
gained the highest average ever attained at the
University, how he had won professorship at

the school where he is now dean and how he
had attained the bench. Judge Gorter set up
the career of Judge Harlan as an inspiring ex-
ample for every student present to follow.

Judge Gorter gave the class some of his ex-
periences as a youthful lawyer and what he
had learned by losing the first seven cases he
tried.

Mr. Howard Bryant, Esq., called to the at-
tention of the students the trials and pitfalls
which beset the young lawyer and urged upon
them the great value of careful and thorough
■preparation. He cautioned them also against
discouragements, which often preceded suc-
cess.

Mr. J. 0. Knotts, of Caroline County, gave
in a witty manner the attempts of a country
plowboy to attain a legal education.

Mr. Cochran, from the Eastern Shore, spoke
upon the prestige of the lawyer, ancient and
modern, showing how the lawyer of the present
day often does not receive the honor and re-
sioeet that is due him.

Mr. Tschudy addressed his fellow classmen
on the elements of true greatness, citing exam-
ples of famous men who had fallen short of
the ideal through disregard of humaintarian
principles and personal integrity.

Mr. Harris called forth roars of hearty
laughter from those present by reciting some
capital verses of his own con^position, taking
off in an excellent manner the peculiarities of
a number of members of the senior class.

Mr. Connelly spoke of the appreciation of
the bench for a simplicity and directness of
manner of attorneys in pleading eases before
them and of their dislike of oratorical fire-
works.

Mr. Levin spoke of what a valuable asset a
legal education was in these days of strong
competition and specializing.

The banquet broke up at a late hour, every-
one having heartily enjoyed himself and look-
ing forward to a similar occasion of good fel-
lowship in the spring.

The Senior Day Class of the U. of M. Law
Department (1914) has elected the following
officers: President, E. F. Johnson; Vice-Presi-
dent, R. K. Adams; Secretary, J. P. Schmidt;
Treasurer, G. A. Eppley; Sergeant-at-Arms, C.

The Senior Night Class of the Law Department
has elected the following officers: President,

Secretary, Benj. Powell; Treasurer, 0. White;
Sergeant-at-Arms, C. Gosnell; Executive Com-

Mr. Nelson Beale was appointed Honorary Poet,
his work along that line having met with the
approval of the class.

Regardless of what other feelings we may
entertain towards the gentlemen who wished
three hours of lectures on us for Monday, we are
most grateful to them for forgetting that to
one, and happily the last hour, they assigned
Mr. Bryant,. The gentlemen who precede him
are unquestionably very learned and entertain-
ing lecturers, but their subjects do not partake
of the entertaining qualities of their masters,
and after a seance or nap in Anatomical Hall,
in a knee chest, position (and most every other
position), and another little nap during Title
and Conveyancing, we are rewarded by Mr.
Bryant, whose object is to get some law into
our heads, and get us into condition to go

Intermediate Law Banquet.

The Intermediate Class of the University
of Maryland Law School held a banquet De-
cember 18th at Kernan's Hotel, after which
they adjourned to the Maryland Theatre, where
several boxes and rows of seats in the orchestra
had been reserved for them.

At the dinner G. Ridgeley Sappington and
Howard Bryant were guests of honor and made
speeches. Judge James P. Gorter and Albert
C. Ritchie were to have attended, but found it
impossible to come. Julius Zieget was toast-
master and the student speakers were B. G.
Gold, E. F. Miller and C. B. Smyth. The Dixie
Serenaders rendered musical selections.

The banquet committee was composed of J.
L. Schanberger (chairman), S. R. Traub, R. E.
Kanode, A. W. Bryan, A. B. Nickerson and
M. K. Reckard.

Those who attended the banquet were:
Messrs. J. Zieget, P. M. Taylor, J. F. Hartman,

Dental.

It was with regret that the dental men read
the first issue of "Old Maryland," to find that

OLD MARYLAND.

the undergraduate dental department was not
editorially represented. Since the first issue,
arrangements have been made which will insure
to the readers of "Old Maryland" those things
of interest to the students as a class occurring
in the department.

The amalgamation of the University of Mary-
land and Baltimore Medical College has greatly
increased the number of our men, and has
added much strength. The new condition has
not given rise to any factional disturbance in
the least, and the two groups are now as firmly
and cordially attached as though no previous
separation had ever existed. There was prac-
tically no contest in elections, and what was
seemed to be along lines of cleavage not relat
ing to the two old schools. The presidents of
the dental classes are: Senior Class, J. Ben
Robinson, W. Va. ; Junior Class, J. J Purcell,
N. Y. ; Freshman Class, A. G. Bryant, Mass.

Aside from Hyde, Jenkins and Lacy, who
have passed their State boards, the following
seniors have recently taken State board exami-
nations: In Virginia, Miss Carter, Messrs.
Payne, Holmes, Radice, Guard, Summerfield;
in New Jersey, Samuels. From the junior class,
"Walker attempted the Virginia Board, and B.
B. Smith the New Jersey.

Dr. "W. H. Herbin, has been placed in charge
of the extracting room, filling the place of Dr.
"White, recently appointed to the Soldiers'
Home, "Washington. Dr. Herbin is a member of
the class of 1913, and although a North Caro-
linian, will practice in Baltimore.

The question was asked in the medical notes
of last issue, ""Who said glee club?" To our
certain knowledge, Dr. "W. A. Rea, of the den-
tal faculty, was "the original glee club man,"
proposing the organization after hearing some
of the dental men perform at a banquet. He
was successful in bringing together about a
dozen men. during the latter part of the '12- '13
session. This year he renewed his efforts, and
has about twenty-five men meeting once each
week. Any further information may be gotten
from Dr. Rea, in dental infirmary, H. J. Peiper,
president of club, C. A. Cocco, business man-
ager, or "W. S. Mitchell, secretary-treasurer.
Men from all departments are invited to join
in and make this a "University glee club in fact
as well as naiae.

This is the first year that hazing has not been

one of the ojpening attractions at the Univer-
sity of Maryland. "While the present senior
class lamented the recognition of this time-
honored and barbarous form of reception to
the verdant freshman, and even passed resolu-
tions denouncing the practice, it remained for
the present junior class to knock the nefarious
system into a cocked hat, and to the junior
class should be given much credit for its elimi-
nation,.

A. H. Kendall, who spent his first year at the
University, in company with the present senior
class, and who remained out of school last year
due to a severe illness, has added strength to
the class of 1915 by his return to the Univer-
sity.

The freshman class is attempting to organize
a basket ball team from the great number of
experienced players they have in that class. II
successful, they will engage the freshman medi-
cal class in a series of three games, the first of
which will occur January 10, 1914. "Watch for
announcement and encourage the boys by
turning out and rooting.

On the 30th of November, Rev. Mr. Murray,
of the Fayette St. Methodist Church, chaper-
oned a party of students to the Maryland State
Penitentiary, where he preached to the inmates.
Mr. Radice, of the senior class, happened to be
Rev. Murray's hiking companion. "When pass-
ing the "Washington Monument, Mr. Radice in-
nocently inquired of the Rev. Murray, ""What
is that tall structure?" leaving the impression
that he is unacquainted with the sights of the
city. After he had explained that it is a monu-
ment erected to the memory of George "Wash-
ington, father of his country, and first in war,
first in peace, and first in the hearts of his
fellow countrymen, the reverend gentleman
stored the incident in his mind,' and in a sub-
sequent speech made reference to the poor
young man's restriction to books and hard
work with no social recreation. Is there a
jury in the land, knowing Radice as the dental
men do, that would fail to vote unanimously to
jjlace him behind the bars? He must have
anticipations, since on leaving the services for
the afternoon he joined the convicts in singing
"God be with j^ou till we meet again,-"

The Psi Omega and Xi Psi Phi fraternities

the opening of the present session. Practically

the whole class attended, and were royally en-
tertained by the two upper classes. The best
possible feeling exists between the classes, and
is probably due to this spirit of friendship on
the part of the upper classmen. This was indi-
cated r-ecently by a resolution being passed by
the freshmen class thanking the other classes
for the kindness and courtesy shown them.

Sporting writers are debating the possibility
of Dr. Dandy Dave Danforth being sold by the
Orioles to Brooklyn. If so, here's to his suc-
cess ; and if he deports himself on the diamond
as he does in the class room, infirmary, and
laboratory, success is assured.

A bowling tournament has been arranged
between the Psi Omega and Xi Psi Phi frater-
nities. At a recent meeting, the Psi boys won
by so slight a margin that the school is assured
an exciting contest. The contestants were : Jen-
kins, Spoon, Samuels, Castenens and Holmes
for Psi Omega, and Beland, Yost, Hoy, Epting
and Tiss for Xi Psi Phi. Watch for announce-
ments and attend the games.

The faculties and class presidents of the dif-
ferent departments are making an effort to
secure a general assembly for the University.
The idea is to have a mass meeting of the stu-
dent body as often as once in two weeks, and
secure prominent speakers from the city to de-
liver an address. This principle was followed
by Dr. Heatwole in the dental department last
year, and was a great success. Should the pres-
ent effort materialize, the dental department
will doubless respond to the limit of its enroll-
ment.

We extend a cordial invitation to all students
at the University of Maryland to visit cur de-
partment and see the work going on. Any
afternoon the infirmary presents a sight well
worth the time of any student at this school.
The visitor will get an idea that the dental man
is not behind the men of other departments in
the work required of him before he can secure
a diploma. You are welcome. Come.

Messrs. J. Ben Robinson, class of 1914, C. A.
Buist, class of 1915, and A. Z. Aldi-idge, class
of 1916, have been appointed on the Editorial
Board, Dental Department, of "Old Maryland."

neglected friend in a new suit and having a
general air of prosperity.

We hope to see our journal made so good,
that it will be sought after and read by every
student.

Some of the members of the Senior class
would like leather couches installed in place of

fort to those who are trying to follow the creed
of Rip Van Winkle.

"Miss B.' Olive Cole, of the 1913 class, who has
been suffering with typhoid fever, is noAV con-
valescing. She is with relatives near West-
minster, Md.

We extend our sympathy to Miss A. M. Pat-
terson, whose mother has been ill for several
days.

Mr. F. P. Cawthon, of Selma, Alabama, a
member of the class of 1910-11, while on a
visit to Baltimore, called upon some of his old
friends at the school.

Mr. Cawthon, after leaving school, located in
Selma, Alabama, in the retail business, but
finding a growing need for a wholesale depart-
ment, he opened one in connection with his
retail store, and has been very successful.

Mr. F. 0. Hawly, of Charlotte, N. C, a: grad-
uate of this school, accompanied by his wife,
paid a visit to the school for the purpose of
getting information about certain chemical
products in which he is interested.

After leaving school, Mr. Hawley opened in
Charlotte what is known as one of the most
up-to-date drug stores in the South.

We wish to congratulate Miss A. M. Patter-
son, of the Senior class, for the address she de-
livered at the convention of the Maryland Phar-
maceutical Association at Ocean City, Md. An
account of the address can be found in the
report of the Association.

The only reason we could dope out the fail-
ure of the Faculty to give us a dance this year,
as has been their custom in the past, is that
perhaps they are getting too old, or they have
not learned to tango. If so, we advise them
to get busy.

The Drug Clerks' Association, of which a
number of the students and graduates are mem-
bers, withdrew last month from the American
Federation of Labor, with which body they
have been affiliated since last fall. The withr
drawal has met with the approval of the Fac-
ulty and the majority of registered druggists
throughout the city and State.

The idea of putting the earning capacity of
a professional man on a labor wage scale basis,
as the union intended to do, is incompatible
with the present day earning capacity of pro-
fessional men, as they are always paid accord-
ing to their ability.

There seemed to be much dissension amongst
the students in regard to one department clos-
ing one or two days before the other at Thanks-
giving. In the past, the dean of each depart-
ment has announced the date for closing be-
fore the holidays, this date applying to his
OAvn department. This date has often varied
from the date set down in the catalogue. To
do away with this dissension, we suggest a
meeting of the provost and the deans to ar-
range a date for closing before each holiday,
that should apply to the school in general.

Y. M. C. A. Notes.
The last of the series of lectures planned by
the Y. M. C. A. was given by Dr. Hough, on
December 4th. The series was very interesting.

OLD MARYLAND.

The muiiber attending was fairly good,. and we
are sorry that more did not avail themselves
of the opportunity to attend them. As yet, no
further series has been planned, but we hope to
have a niimber of good speakers after Christ-
mas. The time will be well spent in coming to
them, and we would urge that more attend. To
say the least, it is very discouraging to those
who get speakers who are accustomed to have
crowds hear them, to come to speak to us and
then have oulv a small crowd there.

The Student Volunteer Convention, which
meets ever^y four j'ears, will meet at Kansas
Citj', December 29th-January 4tli. The dele-
gates who will represent the University are
Bowden, Evans and Peeles. They will go in a
party composed of delegates from the various
schools located in Baltimore.

The Y. M. C. A. has been interested in the
movement to start an assembly of the entire
University, at least once a month. We think
this an admirable way to grow a true "Univer-
sity spirit." It will bring the different classes
and departments into much closer touch. At
present, this plan has been approved by the
Freshman Medical class, and the entire Dental
Department. "We would like each class to give
it its immediate attention.

The enrollment of members into the Y. M. C.
A. is gradually increasing, and we give a cor-
dial invitation to those who are not members
to join us. We also ask you to use the reading
room as a place to go between classes. Take
advantage of the current magazines and jour-
nals on our tables.

THE NECROPSY.

About this time of the year it behooves the
ink-slingers to put out a few lines of "copy"
on the merrj^ Yule-tide and Santa-Claus and
plum puddin' and New Year's resolutions, et
al. Far be it from us for this overworked con-
ventionality to be slighted. But, as a matter
of fact, there is but little that can be said, and
even that would be but a sad repetition of the
thoughts that surge thi'ougli our bosom at the
idea of presents, and all we can eat, and the
poor, and sitting on the kitchen stairs M-ith
Irene and watching for the hands on the clock

to get together so we can follow the same ex-
ample. I believe there is some tradition also,
that with each flash of lightning, or each shoot-
ing star, we have a perfect right to claim, or is
it to "snatch" as 'twere, a kiss? In the Ru-
baiyat there is a thought that runs something
to the tune of "there is nothing new under the
sun," and apropos of which, it has been made
a suggestion before the House of Parliament,
that in lieu of the fact that so man}' people
still adhere to that time-honored custom of
sending others presents at this season of the
year, and aforementioned i^resents are so often
so utterly unusable, that instead of adhering
to the good old-fashioned plan of sending a
friend a present that has already gone the
rounds several times, to send him a credit slip
which can be redeemed at a certain cash or
trade value with some reliable firm. This will
meet with a frown by those who view the siib-
ject from an aesthetic standpoint, and hailed
with glee by those who look on the mercenary
end of it ; but this question is meant ' ' a priore ' '
for those who pass by the Baltimore Bargain
House and Kernan's Rathskeller without so
much as a glance into the wonderfully deco-
rated windows, and no thought of the good
cheer that a nice piece of oil-cloth, or a record
by Caruso would bring to the starving widow
lady at Relaj^ This is an argument and an ap-
peal to the out-of-touch-with-the-world individ-
ual who smokes 10-cent cigars and allows his
chauffeur to get on the rear end platform of a
Madison avenue car and blow the vile products
of combustion of a stogie in your face as you
enter the tram. And then, there will be averted
those elements of our race who will deliberately
Avrap up and send you a hook on Fletcherism,
or an illustrated volume on Medieval Architect-
ure in Afghanistan, or some of the later treat-
ises by Marie Corelli. Ever notice the abomi-
nable stick-pins a jeweler will sell Edith to
give her feller, with the admonition that they
are the "latest thing out?" And even yet, peo-
ple )iever give such things as an order for a ton
of coal, or a subscription to Life, or a season
ticket to the Gayety, or a Tyeos-sphygnoman-
ometer. T trow not ! The one dissenting vote
comes from those of us who are neither idiots
nor rich. But this argument is easily downed
by the reply that even though the credit-slip
be almost valueless (picture getting a postage

stamp with one during the rush hour at Hutz-
ler's), it will prove that our heart is in the
right place, Not literally speaking, for we
know it to be in the north-east corner of the
thorax, nestled cosily against the diaphragm,
and held in place by the ligamentum teres ; but
literally speaking, as we would say when si^eak-
ing of one who has fallen whilst inlaying at
roller-skating, thusly: "his heart is in the right
place, but his feet ain't!"

You see, the gist of the matter is this, to-wit ;
you beg, borrow, steal, swipe, and otherwise
obtain as many credit-slips as you can, as the
Swedes say, "Conserves les coupons," and then
when you think you've collected enough to get
a baby-grand piano yoii send the whole flock to
the place they were issued from, and find that
half are over-due by six months, and that all
you can get for them is your choice of either a
book on Fletcherism, or an illustrated volume
on Medieval Architecture in Samoa (or Afghan-
istan, double choice for the same money here),
or some of the later) treatises by Marie Corelli !

The Sun-paper is about every-so-often plac-
ing before the eyes of its perusers the woeful
happenings of certain violators of the Blue-
Laws of our honored village. The Necropsy,
therefore, feels it an unavoidable duty to place
before the lamps of its readers an interesting
happening at the studio of the official photog-
rapher of the realm. The bunch of students
who pay a certain specified sum for the privi-
lege of wearing waiter's coats around the hos-
pital, and cutting classes, and getting some
friend to answer "operation" (equivalent to
exempt) , betook themselves to the studio of one
L, R. Brok, which is on the street the youthful
call Lex., and the day was Soontag, and the
hour was about Mittag, and the official squeezer
of the bulb and regulator of the lens was ready,
and those who had betookened themselves to be
betookened were ready and the si;perintendent
was ready. But lo ! The guardians of the
peace entered, and seizing two of the number,
they bore them off straightway to central-
police-station (capitals indignantly left out),
and they were pinched, and a great gloom over-
spread the multitude. Diverse plots were
hatched, and murmurs of indignation arose
from many throats ; but the wielder of the hjqjo

and the follower of Eastman, and the snapper
of faces (a versatile man, he), betook himself
to one who Avas in aiTthority, and "permish"
was obtained (because, you see, the poor boobs
have to be on the job for twenty-four hours out
of the twenty-four, and for seven days out of
the seven, and there was no other opportunity
afforded them), and the "corps de Hou-smen"
will adorn the Terra-Mariae just as it has ever
since the Mariae was published. And a jolly
good pictui'e it is, don't 'eher know.

his full-dress uniform home when the Christmas

lantly spin over the Bois de Bologne, and end
lip at the cafe they call Le Rat Mort, or a Rear-
Admiral can don a, swallow-tail coat and stroll
around Picadilly Circus till sunset; but even
the homeliest of 'em can borrow his room-
mate's chevrons and go home and dike up in
the cadet-grey and brass buttons, and take
Florence to the dance at the town hall, and put

Alas, Davidge Hall! How art thou polluted
and gone astray from the teachings of thy
many volumes on sanitation and health. Thou
art utterly spurned and forgotten by the pre-
ceptors who have delved into the mysteries of
thy books. Gross are the indignities heaped
upon thee in thine old age. Lo, even a stench
has begun to arise from thy lower halls ! Yea,
even thy lowly wash-room and sanitary parlor
have an abhorrent odor. Their floors are much
belittered and in disorder. A most unmistak-
able stench is now the humble guide for those
that beforetime knew not thy whereabouts save
of necessity. Arise, oh mighty man of valor,
and choke this lurking serpent in our midst,
before some fatal sickness cometli into our
midst. Arise and correct this great menace
and disgrace to our noble University. Be
speedy in thy work.

(Enter S. H. No. 1) — "Good morning, gen-

tient who has an A. M. temperature of 212 de-
grees every morning. Queer case that. What
do you think I caught her doing? Eating a
shoe button tied to a string ! A perfectly good
little button at that. But that is not the
strangest part of it: She had a gastric ulcer
in infancy and they fed her until she was ten
years old through a piece of water-soaked
macaroni so as to side-track the ulcer. No
wonder the poor thing has 'faulty metabol
ism!'"

(Enter No. 2)— "Hello, doctors? Some cold

typhoid coming on? I've cured all my cases
by excising the last part of the small intes-

DR. EUGENE F. CORDELL— AN EULOGY.
By Randolph Winslow, M.D.

Pallid Death, who visits impartially the
hovels of the poor and the palaces of princes,
has knocked again at our door, and one of our
most distinguished, most useful, and most loyal
co-laborers has ansvpered to the call.

On July 31st, 1913, Eugene Fauntleroy (Jor-
dell, A. M., M. D., Professor of the History of
Medicine and Librarian of the Medical iSchool,
locked the doors of the Library and posted a
notice that the library would not be open untii
September 1st. With a light heart and a lithe-
some step he left the hails that were so dear to
him, and eagerly anticipated his usual vacation
ox a month. With his devoted wiie he visited
the scenes of his boyhood at Chariesiowu, W.
Va., and with his cup overflowing with delight,
he spent several weeks in joyous communion
with his friends in that pleasant town. During
the latter part of his visit he was seized with
a painful, but not alarming disorder, and re-
turned home. His condition was not such as
to cause apprehension, and it was confidently
expected that he would be able to resume his
activities in a few days. This expectation, how-
ever, was not to be realized, as on the niorning
of August 27th, he suddenly heard the voice of
his Maker and, we reverently believe, answered
"adsum" at the last roll call.

Dr. Cordell was born at Charlestown, Va.,
now West Virginia, on June 25th, 1843 ; the son
of Dr. L. O'Connor, and Christine Turner Cor-
dell. His early education was received at the
Charlestown Academy, and at the Episcopal
High School at Alexandria, Va. ; and for a
short time he was a student at the Virginia
Military Institute. When he was only eighteen
years of age the Civil War broke out and, not-
withstanding the objection of his father, he en-
listed as a private in Wise's Legion, of the Con-

federate Army. He served bravely from 1861-
65, being in many engagements; was wounded
at Winchester on September 19th, 1863, and
was a prisoner ot war Irom iViarcli 2, l»tJo, to
June 19, 18t)5. During the latter part of his
service he was a commissioned officer with the
rank of lieutenant, though he was often in
command of his company. Dr. Cordell girded
on his sword under a sense of duty to his statu
and country, but he was essentially a man of
peace, and when the war ceased his thoughts
soon turned toward a vocation whose object is
to save life and relieve suifering, namely, that
of medicine. He entered tne iv±edical School of
this University in 186b ana, as was usual in
those days, graduated two years later in 1868.
During 1868-69 he was Assistant fhysician at
the Baltimore Infirmary, now known as the
University Hospital, where he served under the ,
courtly McSherry and the beloved Chew, and
the Emperor, Nathan R. Smith; as well as
under Miltenberger, Johnston, Donaldson and
Howard, all of them men of great distinction
and high scholarship. To the influence of these
teachers, doubtless, was largely due those lofty
ideals of professional conduct that were so
characteristic of him. Dr. Cordell entered
upon practice in the city of Baltimore in 1869,
but the literary and educational side of his
profession appealed to him more strongly than
the practical, and while he continued to en-
gage in private practice until he was stricken
down, his enduring reputation rests upon his
achievements in medical literature ; upon his
researches in medical archaeology, especially
that of Maryland; and upon his altruistic and
philanthropic efforts to relieve the distress and
augment the happiness of his less fortunate
felloAv beiugs. While his education was much
interrupted by the four years of the Civil War,
he found time subsequently to become an ex-
ceptionally well educated man, and he acquired

DR EUGENE F. CORDELL
1843-1913.

OLD MARYLAND.

an excellent knowledge of both Latin and Ger-
man. The latter language he largely learned by
attending the services in the German churches,
while his knowledge of Latin was kept con-
stantly fresh by his habit of reading daily from
the classics. He also kept abreast the advances
K of medicine by assiduous study, and by taking
advantage of the opportunities for clinical in-
struction that were offered him. He served as
Attending Physician to the Baltimore General ,
Dispensary from 1869-72, and thus acquired a
large experience during the early years of his
professional life. He was a founder of the
Woman's Medical College of Baltimore in 1882,
and was Professor of Materia Medica and Ther-
apeutics from 1882-84, and of the Practice of
Medicine from 1884-1903 ; during which time
he was also Attending Physician to the Good
Samaritan Hospital. He was the author of
notable papers upon a number of medical sub-
jects, and his report of the outbreak of tetanus
from injuries due to toy pistols, in 1881, is a
' classic. Time does not allow a further enum-
eration of his contributions of a strictly scien-
tific character.

From 1870-71 he was Librarian of the Medi-
cal and Chirurgieal Faculty, and again from
1880-87. He had here unlimited access to medi-
cal books and journals, and developed a close
acquaintance with medical literature. During a
portion of this time he was also co-editor, with
Dr. Ashby, of the Maryland Medical Journal,
and the issues of that journal during that time
are filled with articles written in his graceful
but trenchant style. In 1882, in conjunction
with Professor Ashby, the writer and several
others, he was a founder of the Woman's Medi-
cal College of Baltimore, and his first experi-
ence as a teacher of medical students was ob-
tained in this small but excellent school, which
died after an existence of twenty-eight years.
Through his efforts the course of instruction
was lengthened from two to three sessions, at a
time when no other medical school in the city,
and but few in the whole country required
more than two sessions. He was also instru-
mental in having a preliminary examination
adopted to determine the fitness of prospective
students to begin the study of medicine, long
before it was done here or elsewhere in this
country: and to still farther add to the list of

his far-sighted and constructive activities for
the betterment of medical education, he sug-
gested the meeting together of representatives
of the local medical colleges to consider im-
provements in medical instruction ; and from
this conference went out the call to the colleges
of this country that resulted in the formation
of the Association of American Medical Col-
leges, which has had siich a potent influence in
the betterment of medical education in the
United States. Cordell's work has been for-
gotten or was never recognized; and the part
played by the College of Physicians and Sur-
gons, The Baltimore Medical College, The
Woman's Medical College of Baltimore, and the
University of Maryland in creating a senti-
ment in favor of radical changes in medical re-
quirements has also long since been lost sight
of. In many other ways was Dr. Cordell's al-
truism exhibited in a bountiful measure. In-
deed it was a well spring within him, constant-
ly impelling him to new activities in behalf of
those who were in need of succor. Thus he was
President and chief worker of the Hospital Re-
lief Association for several years; one of the
founders for the Home for Incurables, an ex-
cellent institution, now in, useful operation, for
the care of a peculiarly helpless and distress-
ing class of cases ; and more recently, the Home
for Widows and Orphans of Physicians, now
located on Bolton street in this city. He cer-
tainly exemplified the scriptural injunction:
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself";
indeed, in many respects he loved his neighbor
more than himself. His unselfish efforts in so
many directions were recognized and appreci-
ated, and he was the recipient of many tokens
of respect and esteem. He was elected presi-
dent of many of the local medical societies, and
from 1902-4 he was President of the Johns Hop-
kins Hospital Historical Club, and in 1903-4 he
was President of the Medical and Chirurgieal
Faculty of Maryland, the highest honor within
the gift of the medical profession of this State.
As has been stated, he was a prolific writer,
and was the author of numerous papers on his-
torical, medical and literary subjects; but it is
as a medical historiographer that he will be
best known to those who come after us. In
1891 he published his "Historical Sketch of the
University of Maryland," and in 1907 brought

OLD MARYLAND.

out in two volumes an amplified history of the
University, covering the first century of its
existence. In 1903 he published his "Medical
Annals of Maryland," which embraced a com-
plete history of the physicians of Maryland
from the time of the founding of the Medical
and Chirurgieal Faculty of Maryland in 1799
to the celebration of its centennial in 1899.
These works are exhaustive in character, and,
as he says in the preface to the Medical Annals :
"He has striven to produce a volume which
will, for all time to come, be regarded as
authoritative in all matters relating to the
medical history of the State. ' ' I imagine there
will be but little added to these histories by
future historians, and that they will be authori-
tative for all time to come. In 1903 Dr. Cordell
was appointed librarian of the Medical Library
of the University, and Honorary Professor of
the History of Medicine, later being advanced
to the full professorship of the History of Med-
icine. At the timei of his appointment the
Library consisted of a few hundred dust-cov-
ered, ancient volumes; at the time of his de-
mise, 14,000 or more boofes had been accumu-
lated, indexed and arranged for use and study.
This phenomenal development was almost en-
tirely due to his activity, zeal and acquaintance
with both books and physicians. With but small
financial assistance from the Faculty, he gath-
ered this large collection from near and far,
and truly erected for himself a monument, let
us hope, more durable than brass. The Library
was the child of his old age. and he regarded it
with almost parental affection. He nursed and
nourished it, treated its ailments and healed
its bruises, set its fractures and sutured its
wounds. He had an affectionate interest in
each book, and held many of them as beloved
friends and companions. I must not linger
longer in this interesting field, but must devote
the remainder of the time allotted to me to a
consideration of his intense loyalty to his Alma
Mater. He was always a most loyal alumnus,
but as he advanced in years this love became
almost an obsession. At first, his thought was
for the medical school, and with far-sighted
vision he saw the day approaching when the
unendowed medical school would not be able
to exist. Twenty years ago he sounded the
alarm and it fell upon unheeding ears. Again,

and again, the tocsin rang, and at last the deaf
ears heard and the sleeping conscience was
awakened, and effort was seriously begun to
raise funds for a permanent endowment. With
the draAving together of the various depart-
ments in 1907, during the centennial celebra-
tion, the University idea became firmly estab-
lished, and Cordell transferred his interest
largely from the medical school to the Univer-
sitj' as a whole; and with his motto of "toti
non partibus," he founded the General Alumni
Association, and began the accumulation of a
fund for general University purposes. In these
several efforts, considering the lack of coopera-
tion and the paucity of his opportunities, he
accomplished wonders, and if the institution
shall be able to withstand the pressure of these
strenuous times, it will be due largely to the
work and efforts of this man. In further-
ance of this object, he established a University
monthly periodical, aptly named "Old Mary-
land," devoted to the interests of the whole
University; and he continued to publish this
paper until his death. Old Maryland not only
contained many articles and items of unusual
interest, but it will always be of special value
as recording Dr. Cordell 's own experience as
a soldier in the Confederate Army from 1861-5.
This publication is considered of such value in
binding the different departments together and
as a means of communication with the Alumni,
that it has been decided to continue to publish
it under the direction of the General Alumni
Association.

Allusion has already been made to Dr. Cor-
dell 's efforts to accumulate funds for the en-
dowment of the different departments; efforts
that were worthy of greater fruition, though
they did bring good results. For this unre-
quited labor, this labor of love, the University
of Maryland will be eternally his debtor, and
in the time to come he will be honored as the
one who first called attention to the absolute
necessity of an ample endowment, and who first
attempted to collect funds for this purpose. It
is proposed to erect a tablet to his memory now
in -one of the halls of the University, but some
time in the future a more fitting memorial
should be dedicated to him.

Dr. Cordell was a man of positive convic-
tions, and was inclined to be rather intolerant

OLD MARYLAND,

' of those M'ho differed with him, but he always
stood for righteousness, and for those things
that were true, and honest, and just, and pure.
We have si;stained an irrejDarable loss. We
may secure another librarian avIio shall be able
to discharge the duties of the office efficiently ;

► we may appoint another lecturer on the His-
tory of Medicine who shall be equally satisfac-
tory, but we cannot replace the loyalty, the
enthusiasm, the altruism and the impelling per-
sonality that were combined in Professor Eu-
gene Fauntleroy Cordell.

AN APPEAL FOR THE HONOR SYSTEM.

By Louis A. Buie, Junior Medical Student.

Do men have to be forced to be gentlemen?
Is it necessary for its to pledge men to the effect
that they will not commit a wrong? Do we
have to w^ateh men in order to keep them from
transgressing?

In the lower stages of civilization where the
undeveloped brain exists, where people have
no idea of the real difference between right and
wrong, where the standard is measured only by
personal gain or loss, we find that stringent
means are necessary to bring aboiit proper
conditions. The man with a criminal instinct
has to be guarded in order that he may be kept
from committing treachery. The child must
be told that he will be punished if he mis-
behaves, because he is not capable of under-
standing the true significance of doing wrong.
The schoolboy must be reprimanded in order
|that he may realize the value of upright con-
iuct. It is only in conditions such as these that
is practicable to use this method in our ef-
forts to establish honesty, truth and straight-
forwardness among a class of individuals.

Honesty is an inherent principle which 'is a
fiart of every true gentleman. A sense of honor
|s a characteristic Avhich is foremost in the
lake-up of such a person. Those who are
^apable of thinking for themselves, and who do
P-Ot possess this quality, have not the power of
accepting it as a part of themselves when foree-
ible means of impression are employed in their
jehalf. These people may refrain from doing

a wrong because they fear the consequences,
but such an act is not prompted by a sense of
honor. If it is necessary to obtain a man's
oath that he will not commit a misdeed, to my
mind, you can place no confidence either in the
man or his pledge. As it is in the case of those
whom we find in other walks of life, so it is
with us as students in the various branches of
our professions. And are there any profes-
sions which concern the welfare of humanity
to a greater degree ? Is there any phase of life
activity in which honor should be more deeply
rooted? Undoubtedly, law and medicine have
the highest of ethical codes.

I present my subject in this manner in order
that I may bring more forcibly to your minds
the lamentable fact that our University has
existed all these years without an Honor Sys-
tem. It is true that four years ago it was
initiated on a flimsy foundation into the Med-
ical Department (all due credit to its support-
ers), and has finally obtained a permanent foot-
hold there, but this represents only one-fourth
of Avhat is noAv a very large university. Why
should not this very laudable system dominate
the activities of all of the University depart-
ments?

The Honor System is a matter which con-
cerns the student body alone. We are here to
perfect ourselves in our various professions,
and it should be our desire to gain as much
knoAvledge along these lines as possible. Can
we do it by "pulling the wool" over our in-
structors' eyes when we come to our examina-
tions? Can we learn anything by depending
on concealed hints for our answers? No; and
furthermore if we use these methods of obtain-
ing a supposed advantage now, it is almost a
certainty that the same methods will be used
when more serious interests are concerned.
Students who do such things are an undesirable
element and should be eliminated from all pos-
sibility of ever being turned out to practice in
professions where the most vital interests and
even the lives of the people are at stake.

"But," one will say, "I will not spy on and
report my classmate, for that would be any-
thing but a manly act."

Obviously this man does not understand the
true significance or purpose of the Honor Sys-
tem. This system gets rid of all possibility of
the necessity of such an act. Would that same

OLD MARYLAND.

man warn me if he saw a burglar stealing my
valuables? Yes; because he would want to
save my belongings for me and at the same
time place the criminal where he would not be
dangerous. Why not save the life of someone
by placing a man, who will be unfitted for the
practice of his profession, where he will not be
dangerous ?

In the Medical Department of the University
the Honor System is, as I have stated, on a firm
foundation. It obtained its foothold in 1910,
and is now a part of the student enrricnliim.
There is one thing that could be added to it
which would do away with the necessity of
signing the "Honor Roll" and also pledge
signing (which to a miscreant means nothing
and to a gentleman is no better than his word).
Let a simple statement to the effect that the
prospective student agrees in every particular
with the principles set forth in the Honor Sys-
tem, and that he will support it, be inserted on
the back of the matriculation card. In order
that he may understand thoroughly the princi-
ples of this system it might be advisable to in-
scribe its provisions in the University catalogue.
Then, when the application for entrance be
made, allow him to matriciilate only on condi-
tion that he agrees with this statement (not a
pledge) and will sign it.

We, of the Medical Department, recommend
this system very highly to the other depart-
ments, and appeal to them for co-operation in
our endeavor to establish it in the entire Uni-
versity.

MEMORIAL TABLET TO DR. CORDELL.

OUR LIBRARY.

A few M'ords may be said in reference to our
large and spacious libraiy, -which is now in
Davidge Hall, situated at the corner of Lom-
bard and Greene streets. It contains a full and
complete selection of books for the study of
Law, Medicine and Dentistry, comprising in
all about twenty-three thousand books, five
thousand of which are law books, consisting of
a very large selection of text-books on the vari-
ous branches of the law, as well as valuable

encyclopedias which treat on all branches of
the law and which have numerous annotations
which bring them and keep them strictly up to
date in every particular. Also numerous vol-
umes in which are cited the various decisions
of the various courts of the country, including
the United States Supreme Court, the various
other Federal courts and the courts of the
various States. Also the decisions of the vari-
ous courts of England from the time of the
Revolution up to the present time.

The other eighteen thousand books are on
the vai'ious subjects of Medicine and Dentistry,
and are very carefully indexed and classified
so that they are easily accessible and can be
gotten very readily.

A great deal of credit is due the librarians,
who have the care and welfare of the students
and books at heart, and it is their constant en-
deavor at all times to be kind and obliging
to any and all students who may be in search
of any knowledge or assistance which may be
in their power to render, and they can at all
times be called upon (during the hours that the
library may be open) to render such assistance
as the student may be in need of.

A number of necessary changes in the library
are in course of operation that will add to the
comfort and welfare of the students who use
the libi'ary, of which there are a great num-
ber, and as soon as the changes can be made
they will be done.

The library is such that the students who
have to use it should take the greatest pride
and interest in, and should at all times try and
bend every effort to keep it up to its present
standard and to try, as far as possible, to raise
it up to such an extent that they can look back,
in the years to come, with a great source of
delight at the spacious and efficient library that
they were instrumental in upbuilding.

The various instructors of the various sub-
jects are cordially invited to visit the library
so that they can readily see what material
they have to advise the students under their
care to select to get the best results, and all
and every recommendation from the instructors
will be very carefully and conscientiously con-
sidered.

Let us all work for the best interests of our
library.

Editorialets.

We cannot too strongly urge our readers to
patronize the advertisers in "Old Maryland."
We need them to make "Old Maryland" a go.
Therefore, when you can, buy their goods, you
help us. Advertisers must be shown results,
else they discontinue. With your aid we can
demonstrate that advertising in "Old Jlary-
land" pays.

Some additional illumination has been pro-
vided in Davidge Hall Library. We wish that
illumination might have been as easily obtaineci
on some of the obstruse questions given in our
recent examinations. Many of us would like to
have it poured in without labor.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.

It has been officially announced that Mr.
Randolph Barton, Jr., is to conduct the course
on Banking Law to be given in the second term
of the senior year.

We respectfully submit to the Hospital Com-
mittee that the position of medical superinten-
dent is of sufficient importance and dignity to
call for a private office in which the superin-
tendent can carry on the routine work of the
hospital unhampered. It will be asked, "Where
is the room?" Can any sane person give one
sound reason why the superintendent of nurses
should occupy the most prominent office in the
hospital? Perhaps we are wrong, but it appeals
to us that her office should be in the nurses'
home. At any rate, in our opinion the medical
superintendent should occupy the office now
occupied by the superintendent of nurses, so
that he will be in a position to genteelly wel-
come visitors to the hospital and meet his statf
as occasion demands. As matters stand at pres-
ent he has no privacy.

We merely throw it out as a suggestion tlial
the work of the medical superintendent woulil
be greatly facilitated if there were an assistant
superintendent free of assignment. This m:i,u
could officially answer questions of visitors,
look out for the conduct of the dispensary, and
relieve the superintendent in many other ways.
Moreover, a superintendent would be in train-
ing to actually assume office if occasion de-
manded. Just think of the chagrin of the
superintendent when sent an urgent call to
come to the office immediately to see a gentle-
man when plied with the question, "Doctor,
can I visit Number 4, Ward C?" This is only
an example of one of the many foolish ques-
tions directed to the superintendent during the
course of a day. The assistant superintendent
could look out for matters of this sort and thus
leave the superintendent free to engage in more
profitable labors.

The last two lectures upon Legal Ethics will
be given by Mr. Barton during the early part of
the next term. The exact dates have not yet
been announced.

Mr. German H. Emory has resigned as an
associate judge of the Practice Court, and Mr.
Edwin T. Dickerson has been appointed to fill
the vacancy. Mr. Dickerson will assume his
new duties at the beginning of the second
term.

In an interview with the judges of the Prac-
tice Court it was learned that while they are
very much pleased with the worE of the stu-
dents, yet they are surprised to discover by
an examination of the records for the first term
that a number of the men have not come up
to the required standard in attendance, thus
endangering an otherwise good record. We
understand that a notice is to be sent out noti-
fying all men whose work or attendance is
unsatisfactory. It is hoped that this warning
will be sufficient.

It might be well for students to remember
that satisfactory work in the Practice Court is
a condition of graduation and that such work
cannot be passed upon as satisfactory unless
the attendance is up to the required average.

ITEMS.
General.

On January 15th, at 11 o'clock, the students
of the various departments of the University
were gathered in Chemical Hall to hear an
address by Dr. W. D. Wetherford, of Nash-
ville, Tenn., whose subject was "Problems That
Pace the University Man in His Educational
Career. ' ' The first need of the student, he
claimed, was fairmindedness in his search for
truth, a willingness to accept truth from both
sides of a question, and then follow that truth
after having once found it and base one's ac-
tions upon it. His second problem was the
need of a common honesty in the high places
built necessarily upon that virtue as it had
been practiced from youth up at home and in
school and college. He congratulated the Uni-
versity upon instituting the honor system.

Dr. Wetherford next spoke of the nation-
wide irreverence of the American people for
sacred things which was making for them an
unsavory name in other lands.

Carelessness in speech, said the Doctor, in
regard to unclean things is as harmful to the
physical make-up of a student as to his morals.
The man whose thought, speech or act smacks
of uncleanliness is fast losing a hold on him-
self and is doomed to failure. Set up a high
standard for yourselves, young men, and fol-
low it.

The speaker was introduced to the students
by Dr. Thomas Fell, who announced that each
month thereafter there would be arranged a
joint student gathering to hear some speaker
of note lecture upon the current topics of the
day with the idea of furthering the University
spirit of unitJ^ All regular lectures were sus-
pended for the hour. "Old Maryland" sug-
gests that a lecture of this nature given be-
tween four and five in the afternoon would
allow more members of the Law Department to
be present and not be any more inconvenient
for the men from the other departments.
Chemical Hall was so crowded that without
doubt a larger hall will be chosen for the meet-
ing next month.

to celebrate tlie old time-honored custom of
the "Noche Buena. "

Under the auspices of the club a feast was
organized — intended at first for the members of
the club, only, but later the enthusiasm grew
rapidly throughout the city, in which there are
many Spanish-speaking students, and they de-
clared their intention of co-operating in the
feast. In view of such enthusiasm, the club had
onl.y one alternative, and that was to admit the
friends of the members, and so it was done.
Then we had an enrollment of nearly eighty
individuals for the celebration. This is prob-
ably the largest body of Spanish-speaking stu-
dents ever gathered together under one roof
in this city. This marks a great achievement
for the club, as it demonstrates that the club
has outside sympathizers, as well as in our old
"Alma Mater."

The feast took place at one of the local ho-
tels, and the "menu" was an exquisite one —
approaching as nearly as possible to what in
our countries adorn the tables for the season.
Although Bacchus was freely gifted, good
order reigned during the enjoyment. There
were exchanges of toasts between the mem-
bers. Those that require special mention were :
Mr. J. B. Mallen, who is noted as a speaker;
Messrs. Garrido, De Castro and Rodriguez
were also very eloquent. Mr. A. Balart offi-
ciated as toastmaster.

It is a customary affair in the Latin-speaking
countries to celebrate the "Noche Buena" —
that is, Christmas Eve — so that, although away
from their homes, the members of Latin-
American Club thought it no more than proper

All members of the University who have had

him and fill out the biographical chart for use
in the Annual.

All persons depositing $1.00 before March

additional when published. Otherwise the An-

Dr. John B. Bay, secretary of the American
Otological Society, announces that the annual
meeting of the organization will be held at the

28, 1914.

The following letter from Dr. Hemm^ter
speaks for itself. It is up to the students to
show what they are made of. Sing for the
glory of Old Maryland.

treated as such by the faculty and instructors,
hence it follows that we may be arrested for
false pretenses. All of our professors have
noticed it — one in particular — a gentleman
every inch of him — has gone so far as to stop
lecturing until the noises subsided.

"We are "college boys" but please let as act

Secondly : —

Why ai'e so many "Rebel yells" thrown to
the winds u.pon the entry of some of our pro-
fessors ?

We are trying, or should at least, try to
learn something — then why try to scare them
(the instructors) with the wierdest of all
noises? That which has been said above ap-
l)lies here as well.

Not only that it sounds disrespectful — not
that it is meant as such but that is how it
appears. Such conduct would discredit a
freshman class — don't you think that it's out
of place in ours? If you're too tired men-
tally (?) or physically to gently applaud upon
the entrance of the various professors sit still
and you will be doing much toward yourself
and your class to gain the respect and confi-
dence of your instructors.

Getting subscriptions would then be mighty

A suggestion: —

There are many of us who cannot or will
not (the later probably hits it), spare that

"Eddie is the luckiest devil in Christendom."
So think we all of us. He has our best wishes

Judge Gorter continues to sjDcak of nervous-
ness while delivering lectures in Anatomical
Hall. Unless the Medical authorities take im-
mediate action in properly laying the spooks
of cadavers in that building they will have a

Lunacy Ward of the University Hospital. We
trust this serious matter will soon be looked
into.

Undecided remains the question, ' ' When is a

Ave be carried by the "spellbinding" oratory
adown the dear old Chesapeake along the East-
ern Shore country of fried chicken and Mary-

our beloved professor's infant conquests, there
to dwell upon the momentous questions of
Pleading and Practice; aye, to dwell there un-
til, jarofiting by his later experience, we have
learned to avoid the pitfalls of his early in-
experience.

Who will say that it would be unfortunate
to fail in his coming examination? Who in-
deed would not be fortunate to live with him
again through his early efforts and profit by
his experience? No longer shall we come to
him, cramped in mind and body from the grill-
ing in Anatomical Hall, to be relaxed and re-
juvenated.

No principles will be as easily retained as
those expounded by him and planted in our
minds with a good, hearty, soul-relieving
"DAMN."

He taught us as a dignified professor, and
yet in all his dignity there ever dwelt that in-
conquerable Eastern Shore hospitable com-
raderie. He left no question unsettled. Gifted
with a thorough appreciation of the tardiness
of the lay mind to grasp the intricate techni-
calities of his subject, he led us patiently
through the maze of principles and exceptions
when another, understanding not as well as he,
would have become exasperated and discour-
aged. His voice rising and falling, coaxing and
pleading, then crescending and demanding that
the right and logic of his view should enter
and convince our minds, has won him the rapt
attention of "his" class.

He perhaps is a little closer related to the
men of the B. L. S. but he is regarded by the
men of the school of his adoption in the same
respectful and appreciative manner.

and last year's Secretary was taking the min-

read and approved.

As it had been decided at the previous meet-

DENTAL— GRADUATE.

The Dental Clinic at the University.

It will be of great interest, not only to those
connected with this school, but to the public
in general, that in our midst there is being
established a most interesting charity, namely.
the Free Dental Clinic of the Dental School at
the University.

During the past couple of seasons several
thousand persons have been treated for various
dental ailments, among the patients being in-
mates of the various charitable homes, also
patients from the charity organiations of the
city.

"AN ILL FED BODY MITIGATES THE MENTAL
POWERS."

We offer vou the most delicious, tasty and nutricious food in the
cleanest possible environment with rather small prices.

STEAKS ARE OUR SPECIALTY.

It seems strange, though true, that only re-
cently general systemic ailments such as arthri-
tis and gastro-intestinal sej)sis are attributed to
pathological conditions of the dental members,
when before such a thing as necessary dental
work on decayed teeth was generally ignored,
both by the laity and some professionals as
well.

As a consequence many physicians and hos-
pitals refer their patients to either the dental
practioner or dental dispensary for relief, and
after the mouth has been put in order attempt
general treatment — which proves successful.
Now, while we have a great many medical
clinics in this city receiving much aid, such a
thing as aid to a dental clinic is comparatively
unknown, or slighted, anyway.

During the past several seasons over one
thousand (1,000) school children have been
treated along with a proportionate number of
grown-ups — consequently the number of cures
are greater — so the provision and establish-
ment of such an affair is of great importance to
the public, and should be fostered and encour-
aged.

One of the finest institutions in this coun-
try — if not in the world — is the Forsythe Insti-
tute of Boston, where free dental work is given
for the benefit of its citizens. Each season hun-
dreds of eases are looked after and cared for
which otherwise would not be taken care of
at all.

While the dental infirmary is doing its best,
yet substantial aid, or the founding of a clinic
similar to the Forsythe Institute in Boston,
would be a vast means for doing good and
practical work for our citizens, and should
engage the philanthrophy of some kind-hearted
person who wishes to be of service to his fellow-
man.

The dental infirmary is in charge of Dr.
Frank J. Valentine, whose able assistants are
Drs. Walter B. Green and Fitzroy Phillips.

During last season well over one thousand
persons were taken care of, and this year the
clinic will greatly surpass this number. ' Inter-
est and observation will be kindly received and
the work explained in detail to visitors.

tion concerning their movements.

Dr. Drew, the secretary of the Board of
Dental Examiners, who visited the University
January 12th, was received and welcomed by
the Dean and instructors present. His visit
was appreciated, as Dr. DreAV maintains, as he
has always, for a high standard of dental edu-
cation, professional merit and skill.

The meeting of the National Association of
Dental Faculties will be held in Buffalo, Janu-
ary 26th.

Dr. T. 0. Heatwole will represent the Uni-
versity Dental School.

The meeting of the Institute of Dental Peda-
gogics will be held in Buffalo on January
27-29.

Drs. A. H. Patterson, L. W. Farinholt and
E. E. Cruzen have been selected to attend, hear
the discussions on dental education, and repoi-t
on the meeting to further the advancciiuMit of
dental teaching at the University.

Senior.

Practically all the senior class spent their
vacation out of the city. Some of the more
industrious ones — Radice, Guerra, Holmes,
Ackrill, Olive, Bundy, Bell, and a few others —
remained to make Dr. Patterson's plate; to do
Dr. Baskin's orthondia requirements, or to
construct Dr. Farinholt 's bridge work.

George J. Whalen and J. H. Samuel, two
popular seniors, spent their vacation time in
New York, taking in the sights of Broadway
from the Bowery to 125th street. It is re-
ported they visited all the cafes in their quest
for excitement, winding up their season of
dissipation on New Year's eve at the Little
Princess. Samuel says, "that at this particular
place George's conduct was anything but be-
coming a modest head-of-a-f amily. "

The friends of Messrs. Goldstrom and Stein
will be pleased to know that they have termi-
nated their nomadic existence by making a
permanent location at 708 W. Fayette street.
Mr. Goldstrom has already been heard to say
that he expects to find a room alone, so we

Mr. and Mrs. W. F. O'Neil spent their holi-
days at West Rutland, Vermont, visiting Mr.
'Neil's parents.

It is reported that our good friend "Bones"
Hyde came back from West Virginia with his
record book full of New Year's resolutions.
Here's to the success of their keeping, "Bones."

Mr. E. J. Lariviere has been confined to the
hospital for the past week, but is now con-
valescing. Others of our class who have re-
cently been on the hospital list are Messrs.
Carvalho and Asking.

The Orange Trust, Avhich was organized, and
which did some business during the holidays,
has been declared as coming under the Heat-
wole Dis-trust Act, and dissolved. Its treas-
urj'- funds, amounting to 74 cents, have been
confiscated and further attempts to carry on
business by this company will lead to criminal
proceedings being brought against the indi-
viduals composing it. No one seems to be able
to place the blame for this nefarious combina-
tion's existence, but it is known that Radice
delivered the 74 cents.

The second bowling contest between Xi Psi

On the afternoon of December the 19th, the
two regular demonstrators in the infirmary,
Drs. Rea and Valentine, and the secretary, Mrs.
Martha E. Hicks, were made presents by the
student body as a token of the esteem in which
they are held. Mrs. Hicks was the recipient of
a beautiful traveling bag, presented by the
senior class ; Drs. Rea and Valentine each a pair
of gold cuff links by the Xi Psi Phi and Psi
Omega fraternities. Mr. Robinson of the senior
class made the presentation speech. Mrs. Hicks
received her present from the hands of Mr.
Ruppersberger, Dr. Rea from Miss Carter, and
Dr. Valentine from Miss Ruff.

Mr. M. G. Guerra suffered a rather serious
fall on Tuesday evening, January 13th. He is
now undergoing treatment by Dr. Bay for a
badly strained arm.

Junior Notes.

The Junior class finally got most of the mem-
bers together for the picture for Terra Maria.
This was the second attempt and it was be-
ginning to look like our class would not be
represented in the annual publication.

Our renowned classmate, Mr. Dave Dauforth,
has recently signed a contract to play another
season with the Baltimore Orioles. The Federal
League was attempting to alienate Dave from
the International League, but Dave is too wise
to drop for an uncertain proposition.

The question of a junior class banquet has
been proposed and is now being considered by
the members. It is to be hoped we will be able
to get together this year for a social evening.

The other morning Mr. Walker startled the
class by giving some good fatherly advice to
some of our careless men. He says "more
sleep 'o nights and more attention to school
work in the day would better qualify some of
the fellows to think school duties.

The junior class has been strengthened by
the addition of Mr. Johnson, from Maine. John-
son spent his first year and a half at B. M. C.
and returns the latter half of this year to fit
into regular work.

The boys (and girls) are all busy doing their
required specimen work and preparing for ex-
aminations. This mid-year brings five exami-
nations and with so much other work it re-
({uires about all the time at the students' dis-
posal.

As a result of the recent test in orthodontia
given the juniors by Dr. Baskin, occasion was
taken by this instructor to compliment the
work done by our class. We appreciate the
notice given to the excellent work we are at-
tempting to do.

Freshman Notes.

Dr. J. S. Geiser, demonstrator in prosthetic
technics, has announced that the contest for
the freshman medal for best vulcanite plate
will close on March 1st. The boys are taking
great interest and some very fine work is being
done.

We had hoped that before this time a basket-
ball game might have been played between our
men and the medical freshmefi. But due to
the lateness of the return from holiday vacation
tile games have been postponed to a later date.

The freshmen are all happy since their night-
ly trips to B. M. C. have been discontinued.
We are now through with our dissecting and
are glad to have a few evenings to ourselves.

The mid-year examination bee has gotten into
the freshman's bonnet, and he is studying for
all he is worth. They may not be bad, but they
look scarey at a distance.

We are sorry to announce the Avithdrawal
from school of our classmate J. R. Wood from
North Carolina. Circumstances, over which he
had no control made it necessary for him to
discontinue his work with us.

At a recent meeting of the freshmen class,
Nathanson arose and stated that class colors
did not suit him. Why then did the embryo
dentist from Harford Road wear his arm band
pinned across the front of his sweater for two
months ?

Dr. Herbert Schoenrich, member of 1903
graduating class, who recently passed the med-
ical examination for the entrance into the
Medical Corps, Maryland National Guard, has
been assigned to the Fifth Infantry, with rank
of first lievitenant.

Dr. Schoenrich received a probationery com-
mission in the Medical Corps last spring and
was temporarily assigned to the Fifth Infan-
try, accompanying the regiment to Belair in the
recent State encampment.

Dr. Schoenrich also received his M.D. degree
at the University of Maryland.

We wish to express our sincerest sympathy
for Dr. Charles J. Caspari, Jr., who met with
an unfortunate accident the day before Christ-
mas.

While walking across the parlor floor of his
home, he tripped over a rug, and fell breaking
his collar bone.

When school was resumed January 6th, Dr.
Caspari appeared in the lecture room, as usual
with his right arm in a sling.

The students of the Pharmacy Department
wish to express their thanks and appreciation
to the' doctor, for lecturing to us in the con-
dition he was in.

Dr. Caspari has always shown the same
fighting spirit in all his work and considering
how active he has been, it must be torture to
him, to be handicapped by his serious acci-
dent.

Y. M. C. A. Notes.

The quadrennial meeting of The Student
Volunteer Movement, held in Kansas City,
Missouri, December 29th — January 4th inclu-
sive, was in many respects the most significant
convention held during the past four years.
It Avas the greatest gathering of students, the
total number being 3,984, representing over
800 institutions in Canada and the United
States. 200 of these delegates were Chinese
and Japanese students studying in the univer-
sities of America. To this number of students
we must add more than 1200 laymen, profes-
sors, and missionaries. Many students were
held at home on account of the number of
delegates being limited; this limitation neces-
sarily made it possible only. for the most rep-
resentative students to attend. The Baltimore
institutions were represented by 18 delegates.

OLD MARYLAND.

This University was represented by J. E.
Evans, President of Y. M. C. A.; C. Smith
Peeles ; and A. E. Lindley, Undergraduate Sec-
retary, Y. M. C. A.

No one who attended can ever get away
from the impressions received, and many were
called to face the truths in a new light. Many
heard God's call to the open and needy fields
through such men as J. R. Mott, who was the
Chairman of the Convention, Robert E. Speer,
G. Sherwood Eddy, A. C. Hart, S. M. Zwaner,
Robert F. Plorton and Secretary of State
Bryan, and were true to this call. Over 200
offered themselves to the churchboards during
the convention, and since then many have vol-
unteered their services. Among these are the
strongest men and women in America. Since
the Rochester convention, held four years ago,
1466 college men and women have sailed. It
is a significant fact that last year 40,400 stu-
dents were enrolled in Mission Study classes,
an increase of more than 40% over the pre-
ceding year, and with the power of this con-
vention, this number during the coming year
should be greatly augmented. No student can
count himself educated who does not know
the conditions existing on the Foreign Field.

The spirit of prayer prevailed everywhere,
and everyone was conscious of the power of
prayer. On the trains going and returning,
the delegates heard meetings many times daily
in intercessory prayer. Everyone was urged
to keep the morning watch, and' no one present
can ever doubt the power of intercessory
prayer. These students from our American
colleges and universities, if true to the vision
received, have returned to their institutions
and churches to infuse the spirit of the con-
vention, and win their fellow student to Jesus
Christ.

That college or uiiiversity which does not
encourage the study of missions and of the
Bible cannot count itself among the progres-
sive institutions of America.

The recent visit of Dr. W. D. Weatherford,
International Student Secretary of the Young
Men's Christian Association for the South, was
very helpful. Dr. "Weatherford has been trav-
eling among the college and university men in
America for the past thirteen years, giving his
entire time to this work. No man in America
knows the college man's battles better than

Dr. Weatherford. During this busy life of
his he has also found time to write four books,
which have a wide circulation, especially
among college and university men. Dr.
Weatherford spoke in the following institu-
tions while in Baltimore : Goucher College,
Johns Hopkins University, Johns Hopkins
Medical School, Baltimore College of Dental
Surgery, College of Physicians and Surgeons,
University of Maryland.

There has been a movement for sometime
at the university to have an assembly at least
once a month, where strong addresses might
be given before the student body of the uni-
versity, and where college interests might be
presented. The first of these meetings was
held in the Chemical Hall on January 15th,
and the address was given by Dr. Weather-
foi'd, who plead for a stronger character
among college and university men. The hall
was packed with students who heard this mes-
sage with open hearts, and those who heard
it will testify as to the strength of this appeal.
We believe that this is a step toward a higher
standard in the university. ,

On the evening of January 14th, a group of
twenty-two university men met at the Central
Y. M. C. A. for dinner with Dr. Weatherford.
Following the dinner, Dr. Weatherford spoke
on the college man's responsibility. Following
this, there was a conference on what the stu-
dents can do to help the university.

QUIPS.

Fellows, it is largely through our adver-
tisers that we are able to publish "Old Mary-
land." They are giving us a trial by placing
an advertisement with us. Let us give them
a trial. Give them the preference when mak-
ing purchases. They have not given us their
advertisements as an act of charity. They
expect results, and it is up to us to show our
appreciation. All of our advertisers are first-
class. They represent the best of their kind
in Baltimore. Why should Ave patronize the
firm that has for a motto: "Get something for
nothing." Go to the firm that is willing to
give us a trial. Y''ou will be able to show
them that they are getting results, and you
will help us make a better paper of our "Old

What is about to be said touches upon a deli-
cate subject. And yet it has full warrant for
the saying. It has to do with a condition which
can and should be altered. I refer to that care-
lessness in some and to the absence of knowing
in others, which is evidenced by the incorrect
use of some of the common words used in every
day speech. Why a full grown man should
tell you that, "As he come up the street today,
he seen a boy blow a been at 'some chicken,'
and be knows who done it." Ye Gods! Come
for came. Done for did. Seen for saw. Help !
I perish! Pardon the chicken! No one could
rationally object to chicken. But for the love
of Mike, cut out done and come and seen al-
together if in doubt. Let the free-born Ameri-
can chew tobacco, pick his teeth if necessary
and say damn when the preacher is not listen-
ing, but by all that is decent let him master
the evil habit which marks him as "illiterate."
This means you, Mr. Careless !

P. S. — The temptation is so great, we just
can't resist it. Pardon us.

If the writer of the above remarks had in-
cluded a paragraph on poor spelling and in-
correct punctuation, we should have considered
his remarks complete. Prythee, why so modest,
Iloratius ?

When a duck lays an egg she waddles off
and says nothin'. When a hen lays an egg
there 's a hell of a noise. The hen advertises !
Hence the demand for hens' eggs.

Apropos of a plea for ventilation in Anatomi-
cal Hall as suggested in our last issue, two of
the semi-circular windows were recently found
nailed shut to make sure that no cubic centi-
meter of the heat supplied by our very capable
janitor should escape. Some enlightened in-
dividual, a profound believer in the value of
God's fresh air had proceeded to ventilate the
room by a well directed use of his right boot
toe. It is to be hoped that, in behalf of good
health of the student body, the resultant breach
will not be repaired for many months to come.

"Old Maryland" respectfully submits to the
deans of the various departments that it is the
proper medium of giving publicity to official
announcements. Can't it count on your assist-
ance?

In the meantime don't forget to patronize
our advertisers.

A BRIEF SKETCH OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF MARYLAND.

By Nathan Winslow.

Although the Legislature of the fcJtate ol
Maryland of 1784 enacted a charter providing
fox the union of Washington College, at Ches-
tertown, and St. John's College, at Annapolis,
as the University of Marjdand, the governing
bodies of the two institutions were unable, after
several conferences, to effect its consummation.
Some historians are accustomed to speak of this
proposed universitj- as the first University of
Maryland, but as the privileges granted were
never made use of, it is certainly an error to
speak of this institution iu contemplation as an
institution in actuality. The State was there-
fore aompeUed to wait until 1812 for the actual
organization of an institution bearing her name.
This was accomplished by the Legislative grant
of a charter to the College of Medicine of
Maryland, fo^^nded in. 1807, giving it the privi-
lege of associating with it the Faculties of Di-
vinity, Arts and Sciences, and Law, under the
name of the University of Maryland. The Fac-
ulty af Divinity was never in actual operation.
The Academic Department Avas acquired in
1830 by merger with Baltimore College,
founded in 1803. This School was in active
existence until 1872, when lectures ceased, as
a consequence of which the Board of Regents
ordered it closed. From that period until 1907
the University of Maryland was without a
Department of Arts and Sciences. In this year,
however, this necessary unit of universitj^ or-
ganization was supplied by affiliation with St.
John's College, of Annapolis, Md., a most ven-
erable institution, Avith a long and honorable
career. Starting iu 1696 as King Williaoi's
School, and succeeding it in 1784 as St. John's
College, this school was expected to form a
nufileus of the then projected University of
Maryland. It, therefore, seemed especially fit-
ting to those concerned when seeking a colle-

giate department to offer the above-named in-
stitution the privilege of forming a component
part of the University of Maryland. Thus 1907
saw St. Johns College, under the presidency of
Dr. Thomas Fell, fulfilling the dream of the
Geiieral Assembly of 1784 that it be a part of
the Universitj' of Marjdand.

The Faculty of Law was annexed to the Fac-
ulty of Physic on January 6, 1S13, but a course
of instruction was not inaugurated until 1823,
only to be suspended in 1836. No attempt was
made to resume lectures in this school until
1869, when the course was revived upon the
initiative of Professor Christopher Johnston, of
the Faculty of Physic, since which time the
Law School has enjoyed an uninterrupted and
successful career.

Thus at the present date the University of
Maryland consists of three schools of facul-
ties, — Medicine, Law and Arts and Sciences,
besides the Departments of Dentistry and
Pharmacy, which, though in reality indepen-
dent, are in name subdivisions of the Faculty of
Physic. The Faculty of Physic had in 1839 the
opportimity of annexing unto itself a Depart-
ment of Dentistry when Doctors Horace H.
Haj'den and Chapin A. Harris made a formal
proposal for the institution of such a depart-
ment; but at that time the subject of dentistry
was thought so unimportant that the proposi-
tion was unfortunately rejected. Thus the Uni-
versity of Marjdand lost the opportunity of
founding the first dental school in the world.
However, some consolation, though slight, may
be derived from the fact that Dr. Hayden, upon
the invitation of the Faculty of Physic, deliv-
ered during the session of 1837-1838 the first
systematic course of dental lectures in America,
and, perhaps, in the world, to the medical stu-
dents of the University of Marj-land. In 1882
the Faculty of Physic came to the realization
that the subject of dentistrj' had advanced to
sufficient importance to demand a course of in-
struction, applied to the Legislature of the

OLD MAEYLAND.

State of Maryland for a charter to add unto
itself a Department of Dentistry. The Legisla-
ture granted this petition, and on April 28.
1882, the first summer practical session began,
and on October 2, 1882, the first winter session.
Since that time the Department of Dentistry i
has been in continuous and active operation,
and at present is one of the foremost schools of
dentistry of the United States.

The Department of Pharmacy was acquired
by union with the Maryland College of Phar-
macy, founded in 1841, upon the suggestion of
Doctor William R. Fisher, Professor of Chem-
istry in the University of Maryland, but who
died in 1842 without participation in its exe-
cution. Thus, again, when the University of
Maryland acquired the Maryland School of
Pharmacy it could only be looked upon as com-
ing into its own. For this school was organized
largely upon the initiative of a member of the
Faculty of Physic of the University of Mary-
land.

As all of the important changes in the career
of the University have emanated in the Faculty
of Physic, which, together with all of the other
professional schools, is located in Baltimore, it
is perhaps fitting that it serve as a climax to
this history. The Medical School was founded
in 1807, as the College of Medicine in Mary-
land, and owes its foundation to Dr. John
Beale Davidge. As early as 1802, Dr. Davidge
gave courses of lectures on Anatomy, Surgery,
etc., which Avere continued annually until
merged into the course of the College. Con-
sequently, though unchartered, the Medical
Department is prone to look upon its inception
as 1802 instead of 1807. Even taking the last
as its natal day, the medical school ranks as
the fifth medical school in point of age and
origin in the United States. In 1807 Dr.
Davidge, together with other prominent physi-
cians of Baltimore, applied to the Legislature
of Maryland for a charter, which was granted
December 18, 1807, under the above-named
title, and to be governed by a Board of Re-
gents, consisting of the president and profes-
sors of the College of Medicine of Maryland
and the Board of Medical Examiners for Mary-
land. A charter having thus been secured, a
meeting of organization was held at Dr. Dav-
idge 's, December 28, 1807, at 12 M. Thus, at
this time was the future University of Mary-
land born, and during the first week of Janu-

ary lectures commenced with seven students in
attendance. The lectures were held here and
there until 1812, when the necessity of a suit-
able building becoming exceedingly urgent, and
there being not sirffieient funds in hand or avail-
able for the purpose, it was necessary to resort
to lottery. Grounds were purchased at the
corner of Lombard and Greene streets, Balti-
more, and the old building, modelled after the
Pantheon at Rome, was built. This structure
still -stands, and with this coming commence-
ment, will have seen one hundred and three
classes leave its portals.

As far as can be ascertained, it was about
this time that the idea of evolving a university
with the Medical School as a nucleus arose.
The President and Professors of the College,
with the approval and advice of the Board of
Regents, presented a memorial to the Legisla-
ture, praying the passage of an act to found
a University bearing the name of the State,
which act was passed December 29, 1812. This
act gave to the College of Medicine of Mary-
land the authority to annex unto itself the other
three colleges or faculties, viz. : Divinity, Law
and Arts and Sciences. These four schools
were to constitute the University of Maryland,
and were to be governed by a Board of Re-
gents, consisting of the members of the Fac-
ulties and a Provost.

For one hundred and seven years the Univer-
sity of Maryland has never closed its doors.
Even during the dark days of the Civil "War,
when many institjitions of learning were forced
to close, instruction was continued, though the
classes were small. Throughout the century of
its existence the Medical Department has al-
ways taken rank as one of the leading medical
colleges of the South, and among the most
Avidely known and most highly honored of the
Schools of Medicine of the country. It was the
first medical school in America to make dis-
secting a compulsory part of its curriculum,
and the first to provide for adequate clinical
instruction by the erection of its own hospital
(1823), available at all times for the use of its
students. In 1890 the University established
the University Hospital Training School for
Nurses, which has today about 90 pupils in
attendance.

The plan of government of the University
of Maryland seems not in keeping with the
present idea of centralization, but it must be

OLD MAEYLAND.

remembered that the University was founded
by men who inherited the Colonial spirit, and
who were fearful lest the concentration of
power might mean tyranny and oppression for
the individual unit — consequently the charter
tended towards the independence of the sepa-
rate departments rather than the creation of a
strong central university government.

The University of Maryland stands unique
amongst the universities of America in having
been evolved from a medical school ; and boasts
not only a long and honorable past, but is today
the largest institution of learning in Mary-
land, having about fifteen hundred students in
attendance.

In 1913, the Baltimore Medical College, with
its three departments, medical, legal and den-
tal, was merged with the classes of the Uni-
versity of Maryland, thereby not only increas-
ing the student body, but also adding a number
of promineut men to the teaching force. We
are entering a new era, and a spirit of optimism
permeates the institution.

MODERN JUSTICE IN CHINA.

By C. 0. Spamer, Senior Law Student.

The following story can be vouched for as
having been witnessed by a personal friend of
the writer while sojourning not five years ago
in South China.

In a certairi inland city of fifty thousand, in
Fukien Province, a white man was domiciled
with his family. During the course of his stay,
a number of garments were one morning found
missing from the family washline. Notice Avas
immediately sent to the Yamen or local magis-
trate's office for the apprehension and punish-
ment of the thief. No developments arose for
a week or more, when a thief was caught one
noon by a gate-keeper, in the white man's gar-
den, with a fresh lot of clothes in his posses-
sion. He was straightway tied up by his cue
to a tree to await the coming of the Yamen
rnmiers who delivered him into the hands of
the Maguai to be locked up and await trial.

Now, tlie Magnai is the professional thief-
catcher in his official capacity, but if the truth
were knoAvn, this is but a nom de plume to hide

his real identity. He is in reality the Prince of
thieves, decides which persons are to be robbed,
and appoints subordinates to do the job. The
only crime is in being caught, and this is not a
very dangerous proceeding in China, where the
thieves" do not carry pistols and black-jacks.
But this particular thief made a blunder in tres-
passing on the White Man's compound, for the
White Man will not brook any interference with
his personal comfort and safety in the Yellow
Man's country. Complaint is quickly made to
the Yamen, and if the Yamen does not correct
matters within a reasonable time, the complaint
goes further, to the White Man's Consul, Avho
sees to it that the matter is promptly settled to
the White IiFan's satisfaction. If not, the Ya-
men official loses his head or his reputation,
either of which is not very comfortable. But
the next Yamen official attends more' closely to
the White Man's comfort and safety.

The White Man knew all this, and demanded
of the Yamen a restitution of the stolen goods
or their* value and the punishment of the thief.
The wheels of jiistice gi'ind very slowly in
China. The reason is to grind out more money
from the pockets of the plaintiffs, and, if possi-
ble, drain them and so win the case for the
defendant who, in the meantime, has possibly
paid in still more cash. However, the White
Man's pocketbook did not yield returns for the
Yamen in this manner, for he could get justice
in another way and more quickly.

Finally, in desperation, the Magnai appeared
before the White Man. "Sir!" he exclaimed,
"the thief is starving in the gaol for lack of
nourishment. Out of mercy I have supplied
him with food from my own purse. I can do
so no longer for my income is very meager.
You know it is the custom for the complainant
to pay for the prisoner's board and keep while
in prison aAvaiting trial," which was quite true.
"Begone!" said the White Man, "bring me my
clothing or their value, and punish the offender,
or someone will lose his head."

So the Magnai left, but returned the next
day. "You are extremely hard on me," said
he. "The clothing cannot be found, and the
value you place upon it is without reason. The
thief is hungry and my purse is dwindling. I
beg of you to accept less." Now the White
Man had purposely doubled the value of the

OLD MARYLAND.

stolen goods to be assured of getting the fair
value in the end, so he said: "See here, if you
return to me ten dollars on next Saturday
morning, at ten, o'clock, all shall be well. If
not, someone shall lose his head,"

On Saturday morning, promptly at ten, the
money was forthcoming; and at the Yamen a
servant of the White Man was witness of the
fact that the thief received thirty lashes well-
laid on. So it was reported. At any rate, from
henceforth, no more clothing Avas missing, and
the, White Man was satisfied.

It will be readily seen that there is an open-
ing in South China for any member of the Law
Department who wishes to help build up a fine
practice, legislate new measures for reform, or
rapidly attain the bench. Biit we hope thai;
under the new Republic such stories as above
will soon be mere relics of the past.

WHAT IS DR. ELIOT'S MODERN RE-
LIGION?

By F. J. Valentine, D.D.S.

Some years ago Dr. Eliot, of Harvard Univer-
sity, in an address before the Harvard Summer
School, offered a description of what would be
a religion of the futiire, and again in the New
York Times of January 11 he discusses a twen-
tieth century Christianity.

We wish for the sake of those who would
really try to seek knowledge — along religious
lines,-^that Dr. Eliot, when he^ launched his
ideas of modern religion, would have at-
tempted a more logical detail of this new re-
ligion, instead of a speculation as to wTiat re-
ligion will be in the future based on modern
science and trend of thought.

Naturally we would inquire as to what is his
definition of religion — whether it is a classified
knowledge of various theories of ancient and
modern divines, a collection of siiperstitioi^s
practices and beliefs of all nations, and a com-
parison of their philosophies and morals — or
does he believe in the revelation of the knowl-
edge of God and His attributes given to man
supernaturally as is taught by every potentially
religioiTs body or sect in the world today?

Does the Doctor believe in religion at all or
accept its meaning and ideas as taught by the

church today? If he does, what, may we ask,
is the nature, meaning, and consequence of this
modern one?

With one stroke of the pen — as it were — Dr.
Eliot has abolished all knowledge, systems, and
forms of religion — establishing in its place a
vast nebulous, colorless and lifeless sort of an
idea that he calls a religion based on what Ave
might know — if we Avere only sure we kneAv
it — and attributes this remarkable change to
modern science and democracy.

We feel sorry for a religion dependable on
either science or democracy — for the scientific
truths of today may be error tomorrow, and
democracy of his sort is only in the try-out
stage, thoTigh true democracy takes its rise
directly from Christianity, which is a very con-
cise form of religion.

Dr. Eliot may try to impress on us that
ridiculous old assertion about the warfare be-
tween science and religion, but to those Avith a
discerning mi];id, and who understand the na-
ture of both science and religion, they can
imderstand there is no Avarfare, for Avhat is
truth in both eases cannot be contradictory.
On the contrary, the truths of science rather
atfirm (though in a hazy, indistinct manner)
the truths of religion. There is no contradic-
tion betAveen Genesis and geology. If there
AA-ere. Genesis has more weight and is of more
service to man than all geologies. We are
afraid Dr. Eliot in his effort to change the old
religion based Ms ideas on the possibility that
some day science will completely overthrow all
the truths of religion ; but Atntil that day ar-
rives we cannot be guided by what he says, for
a possibility contingent on a possibility would
lead to nowhere — or, even worse, lead to rank
scepticism.

Let us not be affrighted by a pompous pes-
simism, or believe that because several inter-
esting, excellent and absorbing discoveries havp
been attained within the last century that all
that went before it is error, or that the truths
of today will change yesterday's truths.

After all. what is science biit the intellect of
man trying to grasn and eoranrehend God's
laAvs? And. thoueh our knoAvledee might go
on forever. hoAv could a finite mind grasn and
understand the will of the Infinite, thoua-h very
suDerficially and only by direct permission?

We live in an affe where reason holds sway;
but if T may be allowed to quote from a dis-

OLD MARYLAND.

course delivered in Westminster Church bj^
Professor, Hemmeter, who said, in part, that:
''Nicodemus could not understand the teach-
ings and miracles of the Saviour because he
based everything on natural laws. * * *
The human senses are fallacious giiides. There
are things on earth which are so delicate that
we cannot detect them with our eyes, tones so
fine that we cannot hear them.

"A developed man understands that there is
something inaudible, intangible, invisible and
infinite that operates upon him.

"This new religion, based on natural laws,
is all wrong, as we have not universal knowl-
edge on which to build. Reduced to their final
analysis, we reach forces that we cannot ex-
plain. ' '

That religion must not be classified with the
sum of human knowledge — for she is a divine
knowledge — would l)e a difficult i^oint to refute.
There might be, and undoubtedly is, an anal-
ogy between religion as a science and other hu-
man sciences, but to believe that she is depend-
able on human knowledge is error.

The physiologist carries our knowledge high
into the domain of biologj'. Eventually we go
from the natural sciences to the metaphysical,
until from the valleys unto the foothills we
ascend the Mount of Knowledge. But neither
eentitude based on experiment, or reason based
on analogy, can ever explore the eternal snows
at the summit, for faith and faith alone bi-iugs
us there.

Religion descends from those everlasting
snows like the glaciers, and no one can create a
river to flow up and up and penetrate those icy
caps.

But this is the important point. We suppose
Dr. Eliot surely means natural religion when
he speaks of it at all — and we must concede
the point that knowledge surely has changed
man, for we no longer adore the gods of Rome.
Venus or Mars today is an absurdity ; even the
leathered gods of Oceauica and the wooden
gods of Africa will some day give Avay in those
places. And so natural religion changes. But,
to the contrary, the religion of Abraham, the
Prophets, Apostles and Doctors of the middle
ages is still the same, for ti-uth cannot be like
Janus.

God has revealed Himself to man for man's

good, and this is divine knowledge on religion.

It is perfectly reasonable to believe under

the circumstances that the love of a Creator
for His creature could, undoubtedly did and
will allow the finite mind to grasp a knowledge
of Him which is of benefit to man and help
him become more than a high-class animal, n
creature endowed with virtue, free will and
intellect.

Therefore, we hope that such a discussion
coming from so prominent a man as Dr. Eliot,
will some time be given us in a more pro-
nounced form. For example, let him give a
voluminous treatise on the correct history and
complete analysis of the nature, origin and
functions of religion, along with a description
of the disadvantages of the old and the ad-
vantagc!i of the ncAv. After Dr. Eliot has com-
piled this treatise we may examine his logic
and draA\" our own conclusions.

Francis Bacon says a little philosophy in-
clineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in
philosophy bringeth man's mind about to re-
ligion ; or, as Edmund Burke said, that Avriters
against religion, whilst they oppose every sys-
tem, they are wisely careful not to set up any
of their own ; and to quote Carlysle, who said :

"His religion is at best but an anxious wish —
like that of Rabalais — a great Perhaps."

Nvlneli were real Avorries then, become pleasant
memories later. Friendships which were under-
valued then grow into cherished memories
which could not be bought for any price, a
feAv years later. It's the friendships shaped
while at college which live. New friendships
are formed later in life to be sure, but it is
seldom that these have the true ring. No mat-
ter how trusting a man may be, he can't help
but be on the lookout for those pseudo or false
friendships which may by chance, be based
more on what material things may be had as a
result, than upon the pure joy of "being
friends." This is bound to be so. It is part
of the life all must lead ; to be on guard, unless
one is sure that the friendship is friendship
pure and simple and not business plus friend-
ship. Perhaps there is no surer index thau un-
selfishness. Be cautious regarding the "friend"
who tells you how well you look and later
asks a favor.

Once, while attending a local football game,
T heard an excited student yell, at a critical
moment, to his pal who was on the team : "Make
a touchdown. Bill ! Make a touchdown ! GET
YOUR NAME IN THE PAPERS!" Don't
smile, boys.

This ardent enthusiast wanted to see his
friend "make good." It meant much to him
and demonstrated his true regard. How seldom
in later life will we find friends who will want
to really see us "make touchdowns." Most
often it is the apathy of our older friends which
dampens our ambitions. Make friends while
at college. These friendships live.

MARCH 1, 1914.

COLLEGE FRIENDSHIPS.

"To live without friends is to be lonely.
No other interests will fill the void." A man
is living through the happiest period of his life
while at college. Few men know how true
this is until in after years, while the stern bat-
tle of life is booming around at a great rate, a
period comes when, almost without being aware
of it, the thoughts turn backward. The four
years spent in the lab. and in the lecture rooms
appear in an absolutely new light. "Worries

A DORMITORY.

One of the greatest needs of the University
of Marjdand at the present time is a dormitory.
It would be a great benefit to the University
as well as to the students.

There is a dei^lorable lack of college spirit,
although our student body is rapidly growing
every year. We should have a great amount
of spirit. As an educational institution it
ranks with the best colleges in the United
States. As an historical institution, it is sur-
passed by few, having been founded in 1807.
Manjr of the greatest men of today are grad-
uates of the University of Maryland.

OLD MARYLAND.

liowever, these facts aloue do not stir up
college spirit. It is necessary for the fellows
to be in closer contact with each other. We
are scattered all over the city, two or three
students at a boarding house. We do not
come in contact with our classmates, except at
our lectures. That explains the lack of spirit.

Every college which is noted for its s]3irit
has at least one dormitory. There the fellows
are in constant touch with each other. This
brings about better school work, and good-
fellowship. The men take more pride in their
school. A dormitory provides them with a
nice, clean place in which to live.

It is not necessary that all out-of-town stu-
dents be accommodated in dormitories, but we
should have a dormitory to accommodate a
reasonable number of the students.

As far back as 1907 the University of Mary-
laud had plans for the erection of a dormitory
on the corner of Lombard and Greene streets,
but for some reason, the plans were abandoned.
A dormitory is needed much more now that it
was in 1907. It is not necessary that a new
building be erected. There are many build-
ings that could easily be converted into dormi-
tories.

This is a problem that should be considered
b}^ the Facultj'. It is one of their greatest
needs, and it is right in line with the present
expansion of the University of Maryland. The
students want it. The Universitj', as a grow-
ing institution, should have it.

EDITOEIALETS.

Meanwhile Dr. Pell, what about the sug-
gestion of a commercial dei^artment. This is
too good an idea to let rusticate. Both the
University and the affiliated school would
]u-ofit l).y such an alliance.

Along the same line "Old Maryland" would
suggest to the Board of Regents the appropri-
ateness of acquiring the Maryland Institute as
a department of fine arts. A department of
this character would materially enhance both
the standing of the Marj-land Institute and
the University of ilaryland. The former in-
stitution is now oul.y local in color but by
alliance with the university would immediately

assume a national character, indeed interna-
tional. The medical school alone gets out
more than 40,000 catalogues annually, in which
the Marj'laud Institute would be incorporated
as an integral part of the Universitj'. One
cannot picture what this advertisement would
mean to the Maryland Institute. "Old Mary-
land" confidently believes some arrangement
of affiliation with this institution could be ar-
ranged, if the proposition was broached in the
proper spirit to the directors of the Maryland
Institute. "The sun do move." so must we,
if we are going to fulfill our obligations to the
city. State and nation, but we must get a hump
on ourselves and beat the other fellow to it.
Nothing comes to him who sits still and waits
these days. The old adage may have been cor-
rect in bygone times, but not now. He who
wishes to accomplish something must be up and
. doing. This applies to institutions as well as
individuals. The University of Maryland must
be ever on the alert to spread and broaden its
influence. It must not be downcast if it does
not succeed in the purpose of the pursuit it set
out to accomplish, but keep on trying, trying.
Persistency will prevail. This is a progressive
suggestion — yea, more than that, feasible, prac-
tical. The Alumni of the University would
welcome the addition. There is not an iota of a
reason why, with the modification of the
courses, a degree of B. S. should not be
awarded.

Gentlemen of the Board of Regents and Dr.
Fell, here is food for thought. Devise Avays and
means to bring this happy event about. Yours
the will; there's a way.

Mr. B. C. Lightner, of the Intermediate Law
Class, offers the suggestion that the building on
Howard street formerly occupied by the Balti-
more Medical College as a laboratory is well
adapted to conversion to a students' dormitory.
Coming to think of the matter, the writer is
more than favorably impressed with the idea.
For a long time — yea, these many years — the
University authorities have been bewailing the
lack of dormitories. Here, for the outgo of
a small amount, the University has a dormitory
ready for use. The building is admirably situ-
ated and only a good walk from the University.
It is our impression the building imder discus-
sion is still the property of the Baltimore Med-
ical College corporation. If so, it can be made
productive to these gentlemen, and not, al at

ITEMS— GENERAL.

Memorial Tablet ta Dr. Cordell.

Don't be backward in sending in your sub-
scription. Above all, don't feel slighted if you
are not personally solicited, as those in charge
of the fund believe the work of Doctor Cordell
in behalf of the University of Maryland sufS-
ciently meritorious to render a man to man
appeal unnecessary. Surely enough interest
should be taken in this movement to forever
perpetuate the memory of a man who devoted
a large part of his time to the upbuilding of the
LTniversity. The committee thanks those who
have already subscribed, and earnestly solicits
further contributions so as to make the memor-
ial worthy of the man to whose memory it is to
be erected.

The following have subscribed:

Dr. A. M. Shipley, $25.

Dr. Nathan Winslow, $10.

Dr. D. W. Cathell, $10.

Dr. Eugene Kerr, $10.

Dr. Randolph Winslow, $10.

Mrs. Randolph Winslow, $5.

Dr. Hiram Woods, $10.

Dr. J. W. Holland, $10.

Dr. J. Mason Hundley, $10.

Mrs. Nathan Winslow, $1.

Dr. Joseph E. Gichner, $1.

Dr. B. P. Tefft, Jr., $5.

Subscriptions may be sent to Nathan Wins-
low, 608 Professional Building. Acknowledg-
ment of receipts will be made in "Old Mary-
land."

THE BLUE SLIPS.

A college paper cannot be successfully pub-
lished by the revenue obtained from subscrip-
tions alone. It is necessary to secure advertise-
ments. "Old Maryland" is no exception to the
rule. No firm is willing to advertise unless it
can see some results flowing from the advertise-
ment. Invariably the fii'st question a prospec-
.tive advertiser put to us is, "How can you show
us results?" We have solved this problem by
having slips printed, which read as follows :
' ' This sale was procured through an advertise-
ment in 'Old Maryland,' University of Mary-
land, Baltimore, Md."

During the present month we will distribute
a pad of these slips to each student in the Uni-
versity.

It is not necessary that the student carry the
entire pad with him. He can tear off a page or
two and put them in his pocket. When he
makes a purchase from one of our advertisers,
by turning in one of these slips the advertiser
can see that he is getting results fi-om the ad-
vertisement.

Patronize our advertisers. They are the best
in the city. Cut out the firms who will not help
us. The students run "Old Maryland," and
therefore we should patronize only those firms
which place an advertisement with us.

A NEW YEAR'S WISH.

I will not wish you happiness this glorious New Year;

For yours the will,

And yours the skill

To mould your cup of cheer.

1 will not wish you happiness for yours the heart

and brain
The way to clear
That leads to cheer
And dries the Old Year's tear.
1 will not wish contentment for you in these New

Year days,
Nor pleasures, health.
Nor worlds of wealth,
Nor meeds of public praise.
I will not wish vou strength or gain, or any earthly

gift
That only pays
You with its lays
And paeans full of praise.
I will not wish that fear nor fret shall not beside

you lurk;
I shall not ask
That you may bask
In scenes that never irk.
But I will wish you work, and work, and loads and

loads of work.
For it will bring
You everything I
If you can work and sing.

Baseball.

Since 1912 the University of Maryland has
not been represented in athletics. The reason
for the diseontuiuanee of athletics was on
account of the inability of the men of the
different departments to report for practice at
the same time, due to the fact that the Univer-
sity is composed of professional schools, and
the hours in the different departments conflict.
On this account, the Faculty deemed it ex-
pedient to discontinue athletics with other
colleges rather than be represented by a second-
class team.

But why should this fact abolish athletics
altogether? Whj- not let each department
organize a baseball team and play for the
championship of the University.

The Law School has alreadj^ taken steps to
organize a team, and stands ready to meet
representatives from the other departments
to arrange a series of games for the Intei--De-
partment Championship of the Universitj'.

"Please find enclosed my check for the me-

the memory of Dr. Eugene F. Cordell. What a
remarkable man he was, what a loyal son he was
of the University of Maryland. Do you not think

an annual income of say $450 or $500, and
au'ardiug a 'Cordell Scholarshii) ' every four

deserving and competent young man, who is
lieginning the study of medicine at the Uni-

chase his books, and pay his board each year.

We certainly are a musical buneli — even our
feet keep time with the entrance of the late
comer.

As an act of self preservation the Junior
editor wishes to state that he is in no way
connected with the Federal League. So don't
apply for passes.

Congratulations are in order. Our esteemed
class-mate Mr. Gillett "went and did it" —

honors in the inquiry class. Up to date Rush

Bat, drink and be — careful.

Medical — Sophomore.

At last we have reached the second rung
of the ladder, Sophomore; let us now aspire to
the third.

Second only to the adoption of the honor
system a few years ago, is the action of the
Sophomore class in voting unanimously against
the old and barbaric practise of hazing. This
action not alone aids in placing our University
in the forefront of the great anti-hazing move-
ment, but also is a strong link in the long chain
of fraternal spirit which is sweeping over our
University. Our idea in eliminating hazing was
for a two-fold purpose. Primarily we wished
to bring about a feeling of friendship between
the united Sophomore classes of the B. M. C.
and U. of M., and secondly, we were demon-
strating to our Freshmen a more logical and
more sensible manner in which to welcome in-
coming freshmen to our school.

Our sole desire is, that the class of 1917, rea-
lizing what we did for them, will reciprocate

by doing the same for men of the coming class
of 1918.

FellowSj get in line and keep the ball rolling.
To hesitate means to falter; to falter would
mean failure, and failure would mean lack of
university spirit; so again I repeat, get in line,
put your shoulder to the ball and keep it
rolling for the good of ourselves and our school.

It is with extreme regret that we note the
divided conditions of the classes of the law and
other departments. If other medical classes
and other departments could have profited by
our arrangement we feel sure that a perfectly
amicable settlement could have been reached.

In the early part of May, 1913, the Fresh-
man Class, then about to enter upon the final
examinations, decided that some previous ar-
rangement should be made concerning the
union of the Freshman Class of the B. M. C. and
that of the U. of M. After many discussions
pro and con it was decided since the U. of M.
Freshmen outnumbered those of the B. M. C,
to equally divide among the two classes the
officers of the Sophomore year. This proposi-
tion was placed before the B. M. C. men and
met with their approval. The individual classes
then held their elections and elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year: President,
Cecil Rigby; Vice-President, PhiliiD D. Davis;
Secretary, Chas. R. Brooke; Treasurer, Clarke
S. Long; Historian, John E. Evans; Sergeant-
at-Arms, Fred. S. Eyestone.

Early in the month of October, President
Rigby called a class meeting to hold the annual
election of the honor committee.

After a thorough explanation of the purpose
and rules of the honor system by ex-Chair-
man Voss, the election was held and the fol-
lowing men were elected: Chairman, Thos. B.
BroAvn ; John E. Evans, Bernard Ferry, Samuel
Pruitt and Harrison Wellraan.

Medical — Freshmen.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Mr.
0. B. Bonner, who was called to his home at
Carey, N. C, February 2nd, on account of the
death of his sister Miss Fannie H. Bonner.
Miss Bonner, who was twenty years of age,
was ill for a period of only ten days.

OLD MARYLAND.

The editor noted in a recent edition of Old
Maryland, that the Junior editor in speaking
of the disorder in lecture room, made this re-
mark, "such conduct would discredit a Fresh-
men class." Now the same kind of conduct
as that of which he was speaking, occurs in
some of our lecture rooms almost every day.
I will leave it to the members of the class to
say whether it does or does not discredit our
class. Let us look at it from a mercenary
standpoint. We are paying our tuition for
the i^rivilege of having the various professors
lecture to us. Why then Avill we create
such a disturbance during the lectures, that
we are unable to get the very thing for which
we are paying our money?

It is the belief of the writer, that at least a
majoritj^ of the men in our class wish to get
the most they can out of the lectures. Is it
right for a few to keep them from paying
;ittention?

What is the remedy? Whose business is it
to see that order is kept? Is it the duty of
the President of the class to get up and lecture
to the class on the way to behave, every time
such misconduct occurs? The writer cannot
see it that way.

Every one of us is old enough to know what
we came here for. Now then let's "cut out
this rough-house" and each man make up his
mind that such behavior is for "Prep" school
boys, riot for members of the Freshman class
of the University of Maryland.

Thank goodness, no more Biology.

Mr. Fasenbaker's latest theory in regard to
the thinness of periosteum, in the long bones
of the aged, is that when the young bone in-
creases in size, the periosteum is stretched.

num ? ' '

Mr. Leham (our representative from Egj'pt,
feeling in the region of his sacrum). "I think
that the stern is here."

It is noticed that Jack Frost never takes a
nap in lecture room as he was once accustomed
to do. He seems a little bashful about telling the
reason, so if you wish to find out the reason
for his change, yon had better ask Dojde.

lu the past the Law School has never had
a baseball team, and since the discontinuance
of athletics last year, the University has not
been represented on the diamond, except by
the St. John's College team.

There has been considerable talk of organ-
izing a Law School team. We have an abun-
dance of material. In the Law School are
many men who have played on some of the
fastest college and prep, school teams in this
part of the country. There is no reason why
we could not have a first-class team. Let us
get together and demonstrate that our high
batting average is not confined to law. It is
necessary that we get together on this proposi-
tion at once in order to secure games with
other school teams.

change them all to the basis of a hundred. As
a consequence the marks came out five days
late. We might suggest an additional office
force to relieve at least one member of our
Bench from arduous clerical labor.

liad a distressing accident while trying a case

for the use of counsel are not strong enough
for our Aveighty thinkers. The gradual and
humiliating descent of our illustrious friend
to the floor to the accompaniment of ominous
sounds of cracking wood caused him great
c'Hibarrassment, and, without doubt, seriously
affected the result of the trial. The iundue levity
on the part of the Court was quite infectious,
for even our usually staid and solemn jury
could not refrain a hearty laugh at Mr. Mac-
Nabb 's undignified predicament. For the re-
mainder of the trial our friend was obliged to
balance himself in a disconsolate heap on the
court railing. Will not some energetic soul put
n movement on foot to supply four strong,
comfortable chairs for this courtroom?

OLD MARYLAND.

LAW— INTERMEDIATE.

Some Remarks Made During a Meeting Held by
the Day Division of the Class of 1915 of the
Law Department on February 10th.

Tile present "Honor System"' is iu fact uo
system at all. While it places each man on his
honor, it is to a great extent like the moral law.
Neither our jDresent "Honor System" nor the
moral law has anj' sanction ; that is, there is no
way of enforcing them, no one is subject to a
penalty who disobeys. The only sanction of
the moral law, if it can be called such, is the
fear for the future; the only sanction of our
honor system is our conscience and our self-
respect.

in nearly all of the large colleges and uni-
versities the students are placed upon their
honor, and in the larger universities and col-
leges they have what is usually called the Stu-
dent Council, which, Avitli the assistance of the
student body (as will be explained later), en-
force the rules governing the conduct of the
students, at least during examinations, and in
some cases even go so far as to regulate at-
tendance upon lectures and conduct during
them. As a general thing it is worked some-
thing like this: The rules of the "system" are
drawn up by a committee composed of one or
two members from each class, which are in turn
submitted to the whole school for its approval.
After these rules are adopted, the "Student
Council, ' ' as we will call it, is organized. This
council is generally composed of two men from
each class, these two men being elected by the
class they represent. If this was followed by
our Law Department, we would have six men
on this Council. So far we have stated the ma-
chinery of the "system," and now we have to
go into the method in which this machinery is
worked — the motive power. The student body

POWERS."

is really the "big stick" of the system, for in
all cases it is an individual — or, more correctly,
individuals — of the student body which set this
machinery into motion. It is brought about
like this: The rules of the "system" invariably
contain a section addressed to the student body,
which, although not laying upon its individual
members a personal and binding mandate of es-
pionage or delation, does urge upon them, not
only the moral justification, but the praise-
worthiness and necessity, as a matter of self-
protection to the honor of the student body and
the University, of seeing to it, when assured of
a case of dishonesty in examination, that the
Student Council be made aware of same. This
appeal has brought forth results, at least
enough results to make those who have no
honor fear those who have. When a student is
reported to the Council for "cribbing" his
name is made public. The Council summons
him before it and there he is confronted with
his accusers, and the accusers and the accused
state the facts in the case. After hearing the
evidence, as we embryonic lawyers would caj.1
it, the court decides whether or not the accused
party is guiltj^ If he is, he is asked to leave
the college, never to retiiru, although in some
colleges he is ailoM'ed to return the next year;
if he is innocent, nothing more is said. If he is
found guilty and refuses to leave the univer-
sity, he is reported to the faculty, and, believe
me, he leaves then. If the guilty party leaves
upon the suggestion of the Council, only the
members of that Council know why he leaves
the university, but when final action is given
to the faeultj^ they also know the particulars of
the case. Of course, the parties who give the
incriminating evidence are aware of the true
facts, but they are put upon oath not to divulge
a thing which has occurred before the Council,
or in regard to its action.

All agree that the organization of the system
is practical, but the latter part, the actual work-
ing of the Student Body and Student Council
under this system has been questioned, and,
while it is not the purpose of this article to put
i'orward an argument for or against the system,
nevertheless, it will not be out of place to make
a few explanations concerning that which
.'-(■ems to have confused some students.

In the first place, the object of this scheme is
to keep down any dishonesty by placing an
obligation directly upon each man's shoulders.

OLD MARYLAND.

Each student must realize the duty placed upon
Mm, and if he does not he Avill at least fear the
duty placed upon those around him. The fear
of punishment will keep a student from cheat-
ing and there will be no need of the Council.
The object is not to see how many men can be
put out of the University each year, but by hav-
ing a penalty to keep a student from "crib-
bing," and by doing that there will be prac-
ticallj' no work for the Council to do.

In the second place, some students have made
remarks about reporting a friend. Now, the
situation is this : Is it possible for one student
to cheat and only his friend next to him see
him do it? No. Each time a student is dishon-
est we Avill venture to say there are at least two
or three men who know of it. One is sufficient
to bring the charge, and he may call on the oth-
ers to testify. And, again, do you think if you
were sitting next to a friend you would alloAv
him to see you cheat? Not if you and your
friend had any honor, and you valued his
friendship.

'And thirdly, you will note that the Council
is composed of six members; that is, it would
be if this system was adopted; then in all de-
cisions it would be four against two. As a mat-
ter of fact, it is very seldom that a man is con-
victed on evidence, but in nearly all cases it is
his admission before the Council. In regard to
evidence, we might say that after Jiaving heard
Judge Gorter we are very fit to deal with this
subject, and we know that to convict a man in
such a ease "there must be sufficient evidence
to satisfy an ordinary man beyond a reasonable
doubt."

A system somewhat similar to the oue given
above has been tried with success at Cornell,
Swarthmore, and here in Baltimore it is in
operation at Gouelier, Johns Hopkins, and in
the Medical Department of our own University.

The Day Division of the Class of 1915 of the
Law Department has signified its desire to es-
tablish this system in the Law Department, and
earnestl.y requests tbe co-operation of the other
classes.

On Tuesday night, February 3rd, J. L. Schan-
berger, '15, gave a box party at the Maryland

Mr. Bagby (lecturing on Testamentary Law)

A man can Avill his property to anyone

I was going to say to the Man in the

Moon, but perhaps tliat is flying too high.
(Help! Help!).

Why is it we cannot have the lecture rooms
heated on cold nights and have some ventila-
tion on warm nights? There can be no reason
for not having the proper amount of heat — no
reason other than perhai^s the person who is
employed to attend to the matter does not get
paid. If he or they do get paid, then Avhy is
not proper attention from them insisted on?
One night (I say one night because it was the
last night) recently I went over to the library
to read a case. It was so cold that the librarian
was Avearing his overcoat and nestling between
the tiers of books. It was too cold to read, so
I Avent doAvnstairs to see Avhat was doing in the
heat line. The fmrnaee was wide open and do-
ing very little, still doing its best on the amount
of sustenance it had in its maw. The gentle-
man whose attentions are supposed to be thus
engaged was very handy and fully cognizant of
the condition of aforesaid furnace, but seem-

OLD MAEYLAND.

This is not a new pro.test. This same condi-
tion existed as far back as 1906 (I speali now of
the heating). It apparently has been pigeon-
holed with a lot of other moth-eaten documents
hidden away in the fossilized archives of our
venerable University. "We, the students, have
to sit inactive for hours in lecture rooms when
the air is saturated and cold. Can a man en-
joying such comfort attend eomprehendingly
to the lecture?

If men are paid to see that the rooms are
heated, have them do it or discharge them. If
they are not paid, pay them. Patience is a vir-
tue that doesn't excuse somnolence, and it
seems the masters of our Uuiversitj' have been
both to extremes.

Well, exams are over and the reaction has
set in, so who says smoker, dance or banquet?

It is with pleasure that we announce the
organization of The Morpheus Club. At a
recent meeting the following gentlemen were
selected as officers: High Chief Soper, Walter
Prem ; Master of Poses, C. B. Smyth ; Inspector
of Chairs, Yost. Prominent in the orgauiza-
tiou are Thos. F. O'Neil, Coimcilman Laseh
and Mr. Saml. IToffberger.

The night section of the Class of 1915 has
elected Mr. C. B. Smyth, president ; Mr. Arthur
B. Niekerson, vice-president; Mr. Chas. G.
Cooley, secretary ; Mr. John Zimmerman, treas-
urer; Mr. Harvey Himmel. sergeant-at-arms ;
Mr. Silverwood, prophet; Mr. Jos. A. Hag-
gerty, historian and editor to Old Maryland.

Dental.

Dr. Robert S. Norfleet, an alumnus of 1897,
while visiting in Baltimore recently, paid a
visit to the Dental Department. Dr. Norfleet
has been practicing in Mexico, and came away
in response to President Wilson's request that
all American citizens return to the States. He
informs his friends that his practice is all that
could be desired and seems very enthusiastic

over the opportunities afiiorded him there. It
is interesting to note that his children speak
Spanish, while he and his wife, though native
Americans, have mastered the language and
speak it fluently.

Dr. H. Claggett Baker, a practicing dentist
of Moorefield, West Virginia, was a recent vis-
itor. He was a graduate of the vear 1895.

An effort is being made b.y the Dean to have
as many members as possible from the classes
of '84, '94, and '04, to meet here at the com-
mencement for a decennial reunion. Letters
have been sent out to the graduates of these
years inviting their presence. Accompanying
these letters is a list including the names and
addresses of those composing the particular roll
of which the men are members. Many re-
sponses have been had, and prospects are bright
for many of the alumni of these years to be
present at the June commencement, 1914.

Dr. T. 0. Heatwole is now engaged in an ef-
fort to have the dental student afforded the
same advantage in meeting his State board ex-
amination in Maryland as the medical man now
enjoys. His plan is to have the Board of Ex-
aminers accept applicants for examination at
the end of the junior year, the examination to
be given on subjects finally completed by the
student in his freshman and junior years. This
method would take the applicant when he had
just completed the work, would give him a
much better opportunity, and would leave only
senior work for examination necessary to se-
cure his license to practice. This system of
examination is employed in many States, and
seems to be the fairest test that can be given
the applicant, and because of its justice should
be adopted more generally. It is to be hoped
that Dr. Heatwole and those co-operating with
him will be successful in their efforts.

Dr. L. J. O'Hearn, of the class of 1913, and
who is located at Dalton. Mass., writes that on
February 2nd the block in which his office was
located burned, caiising him the loss of his
entire office fixtures. He especially laments
the loss of his diploma and honor certificate,
and asks if these can be replaced. His many
friends Avill be sorry to hear of his misfortune.

Dental — Senior.

It is with deep regret that we learn of the
death of the sister of our classmate, H. T.
Phelan. He was called home January 30th.
but his sister had died before he could reach
her. The class extends sympathy to Mr. Phe-
lan and family.

Dr. Davis has instituted a student confer-
ence system in his operative dentistry class.
He designates some student to write a paper
on a particular subject, which is followed by
general discussion on the part of all the class.
Gr. J. Whalen has read a most excellent paper
on "Cavity Preparation," which will soon be
followed by J. Ben Robinson preparing and
reading a paper on "Asepsis in Dental Opera-
lions."' The work is proving very interesting.

On Sunday evening, February 1st, Mr. C. A.
Ruppersberger entertained a number of his
friends at dinner at his home, 2639 Pennsyl-
vania avenue. Those present were Messrs.
n^'de. Bristol, Peiper, Robinson, Guerra, Olive
and Wells, seniors, and Purcell, president of the
Junior Class. Recall the traditional dinner
served by the German housewife, and then im-
agine how these students enjoyed this "even-
ing-at-home."

The business manager of Terra Mariae, Ben
.1. Hammet, has recently had the moving-bug
invade his diminutive system. He, with his
pals, Groves, Buist, and Lewis, decided (very
abruptly) to leave their place of abode at 822
W. Fayette street. They left so abruptly that
reports say Ben slept one night on his trunk
on the corner of Fremont and Fayette streets,
while the other boys did sentry duty. They
are now located at 111 N. Fremont avenue.

Dr. W. B. Daily, of Cleveland, Ohio, gave a
course of lectures and demonstrations in nitrous
oxide and oxygen analgesia and anesthesia dur-
ing the week of January 26th. Those taking
Hie course and receiving certificates for the
work done were Messrs. Radice, Spoon. Jen-
kins, Ward, Wells, Foley, Mitchell, Ruppers-
berger, Leao, Cocco, Newman and Robinson.
The men were all pleased and are now enthusi-
astic supporters of its use in dental operations.

The literature from the Dental Department
for Terra Mariae has been completed and gone
to press. It is believed that the quality of
material to be printed is far above the average
of the past. There has been an attempt to
minimize the objectionable features and com-
pletely eliminate the vulgar which has been so
characteristic of the past annuals. Bach senior
will find accompanying his picture a brief
sketch, which is meant to resemble the subject
and to, be interesting to his friends. Every man
in the Dental Department, and especially the
seniors, should purchase a Terra Mariae,

We are informed by one of the men from the
Junior Medical Class that our old friend Gold-
man has been made chief denionsti'ator of the
"osteology clinic." When we were on that
side it looked as though "Squire" Justice
would be able to hold his monopoly of the busi-
ness. Guess he can't make the "bones articu-
late" like Goldman ean, oh, Goldie?

If possible, we would like to impress upon
that obtuse individual in the Medical Depart-
ment who keeps harping on a "Glee Club" that
such an organization has been in existence at
the University for a year and has appeared in
jjublic on different occasions. We did not wait

OLD MARYLAND.

Mr. Buie, of the Junior Medical Class, has
written a very able article on the honor sys-
tem, Avhieh has provoked discussion in our de-
parment of its application here. He is very
enthusiastic, and seems anxious to see this sys-
tem become general and reach the ideal in its
practice at the University. ^Ve heartily agree
with him in his proposition of universal honor,
and will lend our support to auy action that
will help and better our student body, or
change for the better the student's conception
of honor. But why should it be necessary to
have such a s.ystem? In all the argument there
was not sufficient reason why students are dis-
honest, nor wliat the causes of irregularities
are. Did it ever oceiar to him that methods of
instruction and examination systems may tend
to stimulate dishonesty in the ranks of the stu-
dent body, in which case the honor system is
not "one which concerns the student body
alone ' ' ? When instruction is such that one-
third of a class must fail on finals and where
finals are prepared to trip up and not act as a
fi'ue measure of knowledge (as near as possi-
ble), men forget all but the idea of self-preser-
vation and commit acts that in saner moments
would be repugnant. We do not mean to eon-
done wrongdoing or defend dislionest.y. but
we do mean to stand for justice even if the in-
significant student is on the short end. Let's
discuss it in full in the nest issue of "Old Mary-
laud."

Freshmen Notes — Dental.

"Joe'" Franklin has gotten the auto-racing
bee so firmly fixed in his bonnet that it seems
impossible for him to dislodge it. He recently
enjoyed ( ?) an unwilling ride in the beautiful
machine belonging to the B. P. D., which seems
to have knocked the buzz out of the "bee."

It may be true that T. T. Smith (Tall Tow-
head) is lean, but judging from the size of the
lunch he carries he should be able to make
"Mike" Moran the high man when see-sawing
together.

Mau.y of our boys are spending both time and
"simoleons" on Wednesday afternoons at
Keating 's Dancing Academy. The boys are
there when it comes to "tripping the light fan-
tastic toe."

We sincerely regret the loss of our friend
Cre.spo of Guatamala, who returned to his home
recently. It seems that the severe winter in
Baltimore was too cold for him.

The midyear exams are over and the boys
are happy. They girded on the Armor of Study
and overcame the enemy — or at least these re-
ports are in "circulation."

We are verj' glad to announce that our es-
teemed classmate. Hobbs, who was recently op-
erated on for appendicitis, is convalescing.

Sehaetfer is not satisfied with his full upper
and lower and is making other ones. He does

The freshmen are looking forward to the

ating coats and stand upstairs in the lobby
like a real student. The time will soon come,
boys.

Since Albert has shaved off his soup sti-aiuer
he looks ten years younger and is twenty
pounds lighter. Reminded one of a baseball
game — nine on a side.

While we feel a hesitancy in criticising, it
looks like something should be done in the way
of lighting the freshmen laboratory. Two six-
teen candle-power lights and a few gas burners
do not provide sufficient light after 3 o'clock.

Pharmacy — Senior.

After reading the senior mid-year examina-
tions papers Dr. Caspari has come to the con-
clusion that the senior class as a body should
be elected to serve on the division committee
of the U. S. P. The number of new theories
advanced by the senior class, so impressed the
Doctor, that he did not fail to congratulate
them upon their good work. One of the stu-
dents suggested a new method for titrating
Tartar Emetic, which Dr. Caspari said was a
credit to modern pharmaceutical chemistry.

Tu view of the fact that Mr. MeClure is go-
ing to be married shortly, and also the high
cost of living, we urgently request that the
members of the senior class help to defray the
expense of Mr. MeClure 's picture which will
adorn our class book.

It took many Aveeks of earnest persuasion
to get Mr. MeClure to consent to having his
picture taken, Avhich he claims was done solely
for the reason, that the future generation of
the MeClure 's should have some remembrance
of his beautiful golden Teddy Bear Locks.

trated when the ungentlemanly and unappre-
ciative class compelled them to pay for their
pictures, which were taken for the year-book.
The class has appointed a committee, Avhich has
appealed to the Federated Charities for lielp,
to defray the expense of the picture.

We are glad lo see that Dr. Caspari has
practically recovered from his recent misfor-
tune in having his collar bone groken. His
strong constitution and great will power no
doubt played a large part in his speedy re-
covery.

Dr. Burger, Phar.D., LL.B., began his se-
j'ics of lectures on Pharmaceutical Law, Feb-
ruary 9th, 9 A. M. Dr. Burgei' was graduated
from the Maryland College of Pharmacy, in
1892 and shortly afterwards began the study
of law. He is now actively engaged in prac-
tising law and is a member of the Avell-known
law firm of Hinkley, Hisky & Burger.

Dr. Burger in his series of lectures will at-
tempt to shoAv the druggist his legal status as
a druggist, especially in regards to the pure
food law.

In view of the fact that the pure food law is
no longer called one of those ncAV faugled
ideas, and that it is here to sta.y; and that it
is being more drasticly enforced each year by
both the State and the Federal government, the
course should be very valuable, not only to
the students at school, but also the druggist
Avho is clerking or has his OAvn store.

The Faculty heartily invites its former grad-
uates to attend this series of lectures, and
they Avish it clearly understood that there will
lie no fee charged for attending same.

Among some of the graduates Avho are at-
tending the lectures are Misses Blattstein, Lots,
Cole, Mossop, and Sonnenberg. They were
back at their nsual occupation taking copious
notes.

"Those whom the Gods would destroy they
first make mad" — so spoke Themistoclese as
he crossed the Rubicon. According to that
there is going to be a wholesale destructive pro-
cess around our camp. The fact of the matter
is thus — a bunch of the medics connived of the
idea that it was about time to get out the glad
rags and try a few steps at the Turkish Trot
and the Hesitation Squeeze and, accordingly,
made all the necessary arrangements save one.
which aforementioned arrangement was the
getting of both "per" and "late-per" for a
few of the guardians of the thermometer and
the B.D. -Chart, but as there is a Divinity who
shapes our ends, etc., subsequent developments
turned out via contre coup and the above men-
tioned wielders of the bandage-scissors were
told to forget it And thusly, the scheme fell,
was squashed, suffered defeat, went up in
smoke, croaked, petered out, lanquished, per-
ished, fizzled, became as naught, cashed in,
busted, or, as Dennis, the poet laureate of the
Dispensary, would say. became "nipped in the
BUD."

home of his brother-in-law, 58 West Biddle

Arthur L. Fehsenfeld, class of 1909, and assist-
ant ill neurology at the University Medical
Scliool, died of blood poisoning, February 6,
1914. "Old Maryland" desires to take this
opportunity to express its sincere sympathy to
Dr. Fehsenfeld.

Colonel Charles Baker Clotworthy, LL.B.,
class of 1889, member of the bar, former Police
Commissioner and former commander of the
Fifth Maryland Eegiment, died at his home,
104 Woodlawn road, Eoland Park, from
phthisis, February 11, 1914.

Colonel Clotworthy was born in Baltimore,
October 26, 1867, a sou of William Pitt and
('atherine (Mattingly) Clotworthy, and was
descended from Irish and English ancestors.
He was educated in private schools and the
Friends' High School, graduating from the lat-
ter and afterward taking a post-graduate
coursp. For about a year after leaving sckool
he was engaged in commercial pursuits, then
turned: hiu, attention to law, and became a stu-
dent in the oi'fice of J. Southgate Lemmon, and
at the same time entered the law department
of the' University of Maryland, from whichi he
graduated in 1889. In 1893 he became Mr.
Lemmon 's partner, with whom he was asso-
ciated' tliroug'hout the remainder of his life.

During the late War with Spain, Colonel
Clotworthy was captain of Company G, of the
FiftJi Slaryland Volunteers. He. was after-
wards promoted to the grade of major and
later colonel of the Fifth Eegiment, succeeding
General Henry M. Warfield, wh.en the latter
was appointed Adjutant General by Governor
Crothers.

In August, 1909, he was married to Miss Ella
T. Eeeves. of Baltimore.

He v,"a& a member of the Maryland Bar As-
sociation, Bar Association of Baltimore City,
Maryland Club, Baltimore Club, Merchants'
CI' lb and Elk Eidge Kennel Club.

Although he had been in failing health for
several years, his death came as a skaek to his
many friends. In speaking of his death, Judge
Gbrt.r had the following to say: .

"Colonel Clotworthy was a man who took
groat interest in all civic affairs, and he was a
public- sjjirited citizen. He was a careful and
paiustajjing lawyer who tried his cases with
unusual ability, seeing the salient points and
urging them upon the court. I have noticed of
late year'.; how very ably he presented his eases,
alwMy^ thoroughly prepared, thus greatly aid-
ing the court in arriving at a just conclusion.

"In his death the bar and the people of this
city have sustaired a distinct loss. It is with
great I'egret and sorrow that the announce-
ment bi his death is received. ' '

OUR DUTY TOWARDS THE UNIVERSITY.-

By B. G. Gold, Law, '1.5.

.Ml-. Toastinastei;, Guests and Classmates:

It is needless forme to tell you that it is a
distinct honor to again have the pleasure of ad-
dressing you, and it is with some degree of re-
luctance that 1 do so, inasmuch as 1 fear to
axjjjear i>resumptiious in thtis thritsting myself
upon you. However, since I have but a ii-w
observations to make, I shall crave your indul-
gence for a brief space of time.

I assume that this banquet was brought
a))out, aside from the general pleasures that
we as individtials may derive from it, for the
express purpose of strengthening those ties
which were so magnificently and admirably,
but at the same time unconsciously, made at
our last and memorable gathering. Surely the
line spirit exhibited at that banquet could not
have been excelled. Who is he here tonight
hut what can look back upon that grand ban-
quet without a feeling of peculiar joy — nay, a
certain pleasure which does not come to him
upon reflection in the recalling of any event of
the past year? I know this to be a broad state-
ment, but, nevertheless, I believe it to be a
substantially true one.

It must be obvious to the most casual ob-
server that this banquet had a remarkable ef-
fect in bringing the students closer together,
and, from my own personal knowledge, it has
I'.aused a certain brotherly and collegiate at-
mosphere to pervade the halls of the Uia,iver-
.sity, which, prior to this banquet, struck one
as being in a great measui-e cold, barren and
uninviting.

.Surely this was the desirable I'esult of that
gathering, and as long as we have attained this
much, Avhy not reinforce that spirit as a result
of this banquet? Let us all stand together and

*Address delivered at the Mid-Winter Ban-
(|uet of the Intermediate Law Class, held at
Kernan's Hotel, March 16, 1914.

acclaim in one big, lusty-lunged voice that we
ai'e the University of Maryland. Let us re-
gard the name of the University as a badge oL'
honor by every member of this class. We
should he proud of the fact that we are niem-
bei-,s of the class of Ifllo and should take pride
ill participating in its affairs.

It is incumbent upon us as future seniors to
sow the seeds of genuine college and profes-
sional spirit by awakening the gentle slumber
of which this venerable institution has indulged
in for the past hundred years. This can be
done by taking an interest in the University
aside from our regular purpose down there.

As strange as it may seem, nevertheless, the
massive fact remains that some of the students,
especially those who are Baltimoreans, do not
seem to appreciate the University and what it
offers as they should. No one realizes or is in
a better position to see this than myself. Down
in North Carolina, my home state, it seems
that the height of every energetic and ambi-
tious young man's desire is to obtain a degree
from his university. There they are proud of
their school, its traditions, its professors and
everything connected with the University of
Carolina. Does the same feeling obtain in Bal-
timore for the University of jMaryland'? Gen-
tlemen, you may answer this (|uestion for your-
selves. If it is to be answered in the negative,
is it then because the University of North Caro-
lina is more advanced or superior to our Uni-
versity here? A glance at their Law School
curriculum will satisfy you that it is not, and
also. Why has the I'niversity of Maryland a
bigger, broader and better reputation not only
in North Carolina, but also throughout the
South, than it has in its home state? IIow is it
that when I go home on my vacations, people
down there ask me what school I am attend-
ing, and, when told the University of Maryland,
I hear nothing but praise for this old school?

The answer to this situation may be ex-
plained tliusly: Down in Xortli Carolina, and
in almost every other Southern state, the prin-

OLD MARYLAND.

eipal seat of learning is loeMed in some small
town, or village ; consequently, in order to se-
cure a collegiate education, it necessitates one
rljeing away from home and also puts one to a
considerable expense. Now, for a Baltimorean
to secure the same education, does it require
being away from home? Does it put him to
auy appreciable expense? It seems that the
things we acquire after the most trouble we
most appreciate. Gentlemen, 1 confess frankly
that a great many of the Students remind me
of the boy who sees candy in the shop window
and has the greatest desire for it, but no money
with which to buy it; he later secures a posi-
tion in that store, but there is so much candy
arid it can be had so easily that the desire for
it is gone. Indeed, he has not a good word for
that same candy. This reasoning doubtless
appears faulty to you, but it is one of the prin-
cipal conclusions I have been able to arrive at
as to why there is that lack of spirit which is
so manifested in other state universities.

After all, it makes little difference what
school we may attend, as you all know it is not
the school that makes the man. It is the man
himself. The greatest philosopher, legislator
and lawyer who ever lived Avas Plato, whose
, philosophy enunciated two thousand years ago
is still applicable to the affairs of humanity to-
day ; received his instructions from Socrates,
who walked the streets of Athens clad in rags
and who gave his knowledge to any and every-
body without charge. Of course, classmates,
all of us cannot become philosophers, nor states-
men, nor even leading members of the bar, but
1 do vigorously maintain that if we take ad-
vantage of everything that the University offers
us, we can at least become intelligent and eth-
ical lawyers.

I believe that the supreme intellectual
thought in every community comes from the
highly ethical and learned lawyer and the good
and learned clergyman. It is the business of
one to see that justice is done and the business
of the other to beseech his fellow-men to do
justice to one another. I believe that every
professor we have at the University is of the
former type, and that if we students follow in
the footsteps, as far as possible, of any of
them, we shall have done something well worth
our while.

1 hold that, without regard to whatever else
we may be interested in, as long as we are stu-

dents Me should esteem the affairs of the Uni-
versity paramount to everything else. This I
conceive to be the proper spirit to be exhibited
both in and out of this school. Certainly it
would not recjuire much effort on our part in
order to bubble over with enthusiasm. Think
what we are receiving from it — the most honor-
able and noblest profession in the world — and,
comparatively sjieaking, it asks nothing in re-
turn; but I feel that we are under an implied
obligation to at least introduce manly spirit;
to inject enthusiasm in our work and to forever
extol the virtues of the University.

THE PATTERSON-JACOBSEN CASE.

' ' To Illustrate What Even a Prof. Will Do in a
Pinch."

By F. C. Marino, Medicine 16.

It is a common oceui'rence for one of our
doctors to tell us what to use for our many ail-
ments, but never in the history of our ancient
University has it been the custom or rule for
a Prof, to so cripple his class that they were un-
fit for duty for many days afterward.

It was the moruing of December 2, 1913, when
Hon. Dr. Patterson stepped inco his favorite
"Frog" laboratory and addressed his class as
follows: "Gentlemen, we are assembled here
today to demonstrate to you, by experiment on
humans, the wonderful phenomena of 'Reflex
Action.' I do not wish to compel an.y of you
to sacrifice yourselves to the cause of science,
therefore, it behooves me to call for volun-
teers."

A deadly silence fell over the whole class;
the thought of a mother mourning her lost son,
a sister mourning a lost brother, and a sweet-
heart mourning her lost lover, filled the hearts
of the entire learned body. No one wished to
sacrifice himself ; all wished to be heroes ; so
for a time it seemed as if science would be re-
pulsed for want oi a victim, but such was not
the case for West Virginian pride had overeoitie
all thoughts of human safety and there in the
centre of the room stood the tallest man in the
class — Noah Short. He was pale and haggard
and when he spoke everyone noted the lump
which contimially rose in his throat and blocked
his speech. Nevertheless, after making his will

OLD MARYLAND.

aud bidding liis fYiends good-bye, he walked
to the front with low hanging head but a per-
fect step.

A tear was noted iu Dr. Patterson's eye; he
hated the ordeal worse than the victim himself,
but science moves ever onward. After making
his customary introductory remarks, Dr. Pat-
terson placed ujDou the tongue of our late Dr.
Short a dilute solution of oil of mustard. Then
stepping back as if satisfied with his fiendish
work, he awaited results. One minute passed
and our friend was still numbered among the
living ; two minutes passed and yet no results ;
fiive minutes, then ten minutes passed without
action. The class was becoming restless, sighs
of relief were prevalent throughout the class,
the intended victim was breathing freely as if
he had a new claim on life, and Dr. Patterson
was enveloped by a dilatation of his skin ves-
sels, commonly known by the fair sex as a deep
blush. Horrors ! ? ! etc., the experiment had
failed and repeated trials upon others proved
equally fruitless.

For a time it seoned as if the fair experi-
menter was doomed to failure, but as usual a
happy thought struck him. He retreated into
his private laboratory and returned carrying
another bottle. This time our 350-pound friend,
Bernard S. Jacobsen, stepped forward. He had
witnessed the failure of the previous experi-
ments and had looked with .jealously upon the
honors bestowed upon tJie previous volunteers.
He wished to be covered with glory and it was
this idle desire which led him to offer himself
as a victim.

Dr. Patterson again explained the ob.ject of
his experiment, but he failed to state that, in-
stead of using diluted oil of mustard, he M^as
about to use the concentrated form. He was
Tising desperate means to attain liiH ends, but
science goes forever onward.

The real circus or rather fo(jtba]l game now
began. Jacobsen opened his 6 by 8 mouth and
Dr. Patterson placed a large quantity of the
concentrated oil upon the back part of the
tongue and the beginning of the oesophagus.
It is needless to tell what occurred. On takijig
stock after the reaction the following was
noted:

Jacobsen was over the sink trying to show
everyone what he had had to eat the month
before. One man Avas holding his stomach,
another his leg, another his head, all the above

injuries lieing inflicted by the head or feet of
Jacobsen in his mad football-like rush toward
goal (sink). Tables were overturned, chairs
were bi'oken. and Dr. Patterson was standing in
the rear, smiling with childish delight.

He had saved his reputation at the expense
of Jacobsen 's breakfast, dinner and supper, but
science moves forever onward.

AN EPISODE.

By J. A. Haggerty, Law, '15.

Recently, in an Eastern Police Court, the
Judge had before him several of the partici-
jiants iu what had bidden fair to become a riot,
and which was only averted by the timely in-
tervention of a squad of reseryes, who, after
dispersing the crowd, found it necessary to
fill the wagon with the ones who were so un-
fortunate as to have come in contact with the
swinging batons of the policemen.

The Judge, after exhausting the ability of his
intei'preters, in trying to elicit from those be-
fore him an explanation of the affair, said:
"Yez can shpake some languidge, and yez'll
shpake English or I'll put the gang of ye in
jail foi" the r«st of your naturool lives."

This seemed to have the desired effect, for
one little Italian who was much battered and
bantlaged, spoke up — "Your Honor, T toUa you
de whole bizness hava he's a start froma de

Members of the General Alumni Association,
Please Give This Notice Your Prompt At-
tention.

Fellow Members of the General Alumni Asso-
ciation, we are desirous of impressing upon
yon the necessity of signing the below attached
slip. Since taking over "Old Maryland," our
subscription list has materially increased and
in like proportion the mailing expense. There
is a hitch in having "Old Maryland" granted
the privilege of second-class mailing rates, be-
cause the General Alumni Association cannot
furnish proper credentials signifying the wil-
lingness of its members to subscribe to same
through the Association, viz: at the rate of

50 cents per annum. As "Old Maryland" has
been offered as. one of the inducements for be-
coming a member of the aforementioned Asso-
ciation, we would appreciate the courtesy of
each member signing the attached slip and
mailing it to us as early as possible. The
second-class privilege means a great and neces-
s;u'y saving to "Old Maryland."

In order that you may more fully appreciate
the position in which we are placed, we beg
to publish herewith a letter from the Acting
Third Assistant Postmaster General, which
clearly states the position of the Post Office
authorities in the matter, and shows how im-
possible it is for us to have "Old Maryland"
placed in said class without the co-operation
of its nuunbers.

sion of which to the second-class of mail matter at
Baltimore, Maryland, is pending, your attention is
invited to the following letter sent your postmaster
under date of January 31, 1914.

'It appears frcm the application for admission of
'Old Maryland' to the second-class of mail matter
at your office under the Act of Jlarch 3, 1879, and
from the other evidence that the publication is sent
to each of the 3o0 members of the General Alumni
Association of the University of .Maryland, for each
of which "the sum of ."iO cents a year is paid by the
Treasurer of the Alumni Association to the publisher
of 'Old .Maryland.'

The Act mentioned (embodied in, section 412, P. L.
and R., 1913) requires that a publication, to be ad-
missible under it, must have a "legitimate list of
subscribers."

In order that a member of the General Alumni
Association of the University of .Maryland to whom
the publication is sent may be included in the "legiti-
mate list of subscribers" required by the Act above
mentioned, he must express a desire for the publica-
tion and in applying for membershrp, or in making
remittances, must indicate that he sends a given sum
which he wishes to be applied to a subscription to
the publication for a definite period, it being imma-
terial whether the amount of the subscription forms
a separate remittance, or is included in a remittance
of dues, provided the price paid be above what is con-
strued to be nominal when compared with the adver-
tised subscription price.

If the applications, orders and bills cover both,
dues and subscriptions, they must show the specific
amount for subscription and the period of the sub-
scriptions.

■ It will be seen, therefore, that the circulation of
t!ie 3.50 copies of the publication referred to does noi
meet the requirements in the above-mentioned par-
ticulars.

Please invite the attention of the publishers to
this letter, inform them that an opportunity will bt
given them to bring the circulation of the publica-
tion Into harmony Avith the requirements of the lav/,
and request them to submit through yon a statement
on the inclosed form showing in detail the circula-
tion of the publication after the necessary changes

■ News from the Winternitz Camp. — The first
nuin to be injured this season was our humble
pharmacist, J. C. Woodland, whose misfortune
it was to tell said goat-getter that the Veins
of the Pelvis emptied into the Ascending Aorta.
Said pillmaker was virtually presented with a
house — brick bv brick.

Our classmate. Peii-y Ross, is going into the
collar-button business upon the recommenda-
tion of our Bay Vie^^■ friend, whose remarks
were as follows: "I think that you will do
much better in the collar-button business than
as a doctor."

NoM- as to that unfortunate Crook episode,
we beg to be (|uoted that said gentleman was
not' treated as he should have been.

We all know that Dr. Winternitz is sure
some goat-getter, as niany of us have discov-
ered to our sorrow.

When Sammy walked into the autopsy room
that Saturday, he sat down in the one rocker
in the place, and was told indirectly: "I'm
very soi-i'y that we can't supply chairs for all
of you." Of course, Saiii got up and took no-
tice. Thereafter lie was asked practically every
other question handed out. Finally a liver was
cut and the Doctor shoved it ujider Sam's nose
and asked. "What's the matter with this
liver?" "Nutmeg liver," was the ansM-er.
"Well, some people don't know what a nut-
meg looks like!" Taldeaux.

Medical — Freshman.

Once more the season of the year has ap-
proached when all thoughts are turned to our
national game, baseball. It is no uncommon
occurrence to see the boys, who are suffering
from spring fever, gathered together on the
campus, recalling the grandstand plays they
made while playing in the various up-state
leagues. But far be it from the principles of
the Freshman Medical Class to lounge around

and dream of the past. No, sir ! We were of
the firm belief that these sensational plays
could be repeated on a baseball nine composed
of medical freshmen. We worked hard on this
basis, with the ultimate result of an organized
team, and are now out for the scalps of any
collegiate team which may perchance cross bats
with us.

We have the material on this team, too. Our
boys are there with the "pep," and that is the
first essential of a good team. Fortune has
smiled on us in having men of collegiate and
professional baseball on our team. A few of
these which may be mentioned at random are :
Francis J. Muleahy, formerly of Georgetown
University; Jack Skilling, of University of
Pennsylvania; Frank Merrick, of New York
State League, and Joseph F. Doyle, of the New
Hampshire State League. There are other men
of equally good records whom lack of space
prevents my mentioning.

Dr. R. G. Willse, a man of considerable ex-
perience in collegiate ball, has very kindly of-
fered to act as onr efficient coach.

The very "enviable" position of manager we
"wished" on D. Edgar Fay, whom we have
every reason to believe possesses the necessary
ability, and "believe me," he has the "pep"
to accomplish things. He tells us that his
schedule is not as yet complete, but that he has
games scheduled with some of the strongest
teams in this and adjoining states. Pie would
like to get into communication with the other
teams of the University and schedule them for
a game. Owing to the early date at which this
paper will have to go .to press. Manager Fay
will not be able to publish his complete line-up
and schedule for the year, but hopes to be able
to do so in the next issue of "Old Maryland."

There have been several suggestions made in
regard to the new "Dormitory," and also in
J'egard to a memorial tablet and a scholarship
in memory of Dr. Eugeue F. Cordell. All these
a]-e now "up to" the Faculty and Board of
Regents.

There are fifteen hundred in the student
body, and most of them are scattered over the
city in little boarding houses. Could not a tax
be levied on the student body to pay for re-
modeling the Howard street building and mak-
ing a dormitory of it and calling it Cordell
Alemorial Hall ? The charge for staying in the

OLD MARYLAND.

building could be made to cover all expense of
maintenance. It would mean a great stej) in
concentrating this ra2:)idly growing University
spirit if we were to have hundreds of our fel-
low students housed together uiuler the same
roof.

Our classmate, Mr. Miller, has gone in for
philanthropy. Within the past week he pre-
sented the exchequer of the City of Baltimore
with five and a half perfeetlj- good simoleons.
Why? Ah! thereby hangs a tale. But our ad-
vice to Mr. Miller is to keep to the broad and
straight path in the future.

Come on, fellows; let's whoop it up for the
baseball team. Who'll come out and try, even
though he knows that he has no chance for the
team'/ You know that there must be scrubs to
give the regulars jjractice.

Haven't we any men in the class who are
track men who are willing to go in with St.
-John's against the other teams of tlie asso-
ciation?

Baseball time here, but winter refuses to ab-
dicate in favor of spring. It is as bad as the
President of Mexico.

Almost time to begin to think of liuals.
What say?

Some Class Spirit, This!

On P^i'iday the 20th last, the senior and ipter-
iiu'diate classes of the Law Department came
into a serious clash as to which side should
occupy tlu= senior lecture room. Mr. Randolph
Barton, Jr., had been winding up his final
lecture on Legal Ethics to the senior class in
the Senior Lecture Hall. This lecture was to
tal^e place between 8 and 8,30 P. M. The in-
tei'Miediate class had no intimation that such,
a lectui'e was to be held and fully expected
to find the hall empty when they came for
their regidar practice court at half past eight.
Ml'. Barton had been re(|uested to hold his
(lass over for a few minutes until Mr. G.
Ridgely Sappington of the practice court could
be pi-esent to nuike a special announcement to
the entire senior body. While awaiting' Mr.

Sappington, who was a few minutes late, Mr.
Barton took occasion to add a number of im-
l)ortant points to his remarks, which he did
not conclude until Mr. Sappington had been
|)resent for some six or eight minutes. In the
meantime the intermediate class which had just
been released from another lecture swarmed up
the stairs leading to the senior hall, and noisily
endeavored to grain access to the lecture hall
ill their usual manner. Instead of quietly re-
tiring when one of the seniors with an air of
much dignity, importance, and self-esteem de-
manded that their unseemly noises be discon-
tinued they vociferously endeavored to force
entrance to the already overcrowded hall. Bent
upon hearing the end of Mr. Barton's remarks,
a number of stalwart seniors held the dooi'
closed by sheer force. Outside bedlam reigned.
Shouts, cheers, facetious remarks and the
thundering of fists and heels upon the door
worked up both sides to a fighting pitch. A
severe rebuke to these scorners of legal ethics
on the outside and to the persistent holders of
the lecture room on the inside, would seem to
lie not only necessary but beneficial. Even the
arrival of Mr. Sappington failed to luive the
pi-oper soothing effect. The moment he eon-
eluded the few remarks for which the seniors
had waited, the latter in a sudden charge bui-st
open the doors and thi-ust themselves in an
unexpected attack upon the intermediates, who
wore eagerly awaiting a similar t-hanee to gel
at the seniors. At the first xharge of th<'
seniors, the moi'e timid members- of the inter
mediates i-ushed wildly and teri-or stricken
down the stairs, yelling. "The seniors arc coin-
ing I" The more stalwart of the intermediates.
h()^vever, held their ground and called for I'oin-
foreemeuts, to which the intermediates rallied
ai'lei' the first terror of battle had ])assed. Led
on by Messrs. Noonan, Harris, Reed, and Col-
linson, long familiar with rushes between the
('ity College and the Polytechnic, the seniors
I'epi'esenting both day and night division'^,
made a heavy onslaught upon the internunliate

OLD MARYLAND.

meu, headed by Messrs. Zimmernian, Cooley,
KaHode, and Haggerty, who madly rushed into
the thickest of the fray. Then the battle was
waged in earnest. For ten or fifteen minutes
there was a wild conglomeration of arms and
legs, as each side fondly embraced each other.
The corridor at the head of the stairs was soon
a seething mass of excited students, swaying
now this waj' and now that in an endeavor to
gain the mastery and force their o^jponents
down the steps. The practice court session
was for a time ignored. Remonstrance una-
vailing, Mr. Barton and Mr. Sappington were
obliged to remain within the senior room. Many
a new spring derby suffered sadly in the fray.
Collars were torn off, watches smashed, aud
eyes painted beautiful hues, in a worthy en-
deavor to hold up the honor of tjieir respective
classes. A feature of the rush was the clash
between 0. Y. Harris, of the seniors, and S.
Silverberg, of the Intermediates. It seems that
during the raging conflict, Harris was so im-
polite as to stick his index finger into Silver-
berg's optic, to which Silverberg strenuously
objected, and Silverberg was equally impolite
as to grasp Harris fondly around the neck.
Neither of these tactics was appreciated by the
other and they distributed their compliments
on each other with wonderful effect. Men from
both sides rushed to the rescue of their leaders
and by the time Mr. Dickerson, assisted by Mr.
Barton and Mr. Sappington intervened, this
most serious part of the affair was called to a
halt. Some fifteen or twenty men of both sides
made their exit over the railing during the
encounter. For the most part, however, the
whole aft'air was taken in a good natured spirit
and everything terminated in a most friendly
manner, members of both classes carrying off
members of the other side and rendering first
aid to the wounded.

"Old Maryland is glad to note that both day
and night men have at last worked together
so harmoniously even though it be in an affair
of this nature. The old feud between the day
and night students has' now been entirely ob-
literated and a warin friendship has sprung up
between these former bitter enemies. We are
sure that prospects look quite bright for Uni-
versity spirit in the Law Department in the
future.

Law — Graduate,

The engagement is announced of Mr. Benja-
min Rush Powel, of Baltimore county, Mary-
land, to Miss Helen Margaret Lytle, of Pitts-
burgh, Pa. The wedding will probably take
place in July or August, when Miss Lytle will
graduate from a school in Pittsburgh which
she is now attending. Mr. Powel is one of the
instructors of the University of Maryland. He
was born near Sweet Air and attended a school
there before the death of his father, James D.
Powel.

"March 7, 1914.
' ' Dr. Nathan Winslow, University of Maryland,

Baltimore, Md.
"My Dear Dr. Winslow: —

"In looking over the March issue of 'Old
Maryland,' I notice reference to a proposed
Commercial Department for the University,
and it interested me very much.

"I am led to say sincerely that a Depart-
ment of Commerce would not only dignify and
elevate the Maryland University as an educa-
tional power in the State, but keep abreast of a
very distinct and obvious trend in this direc-
tion upon the part of several Western univer-
sities. Notable among such are the Universi-
ties of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

"We are beginning to recognize that com-
mercial education has been wastefully neg-
lected in the collegiate and university curricu-
lums of our country, and for that reason so
many of the youth enter upon commercial life
luiqualified, untrained and unskilled.

"Our Association is endeavoring to foster a
deep consciousness in the minds of educators
that this defect in our educational system must
be quickly repaired, and we are discerning as
a result of our efforts a distinct tendency now
to create commercial departments and commer-
cial forums in our universities. Not only does
this education extend to the banker, manufac-
turer and wholesaler, but even to the retailer;
and we cannot hope to decrease our bad debt
waste until the youth are just as directly and
eft'ectually trained in commercial transactions
as is the medical and legal practitioner quali-

fied to analyze bodily and legal complications.

"It would afford nie the very deepest pleas-
ure to have the University of Maryland take
hold of this idea in a sincere and generous way
and to give to the old Commonwealth a depart-
ment in which its youth may be trained for
offieieuey and success in commercial pursuits.

"Trusting you are well, and with sincere re-
gards, I am, yours very trulj^,

Law — Senior.

March 6. 1914.
To the Editor-in-Chief of "Old Maryland":

It has been said that some lawyers owe their
financial success to their ability to distort the
truth. It has also been said that some news-
paper reporters owe their success to their abil-
ity to make up original stories without waiting
for real news. I was just thinking that indica-
tions would point to a success of that kind for
the editor representing the Senior Law Class
in "Old Maryland," provided he has sufficient
memory to be consistent in his subsequent
statements.

The counsel in one of the cases in the Prac-
tice Court recently was iinable to appear at
the trial, and the writer was importuned and
finally persuaded to take his place. While the
Court was passing on the prayei's after the
arguments were all in, the chair occupied by
the writer became weak and started to go
down, so that it had to be abandoned. The
learned editor or sub-editor representing the
Senior Law Class, with, perhaps, visions of pro-
prietorship of some great papei- like the "Sun"
or the "American," or else a position on their
reportorial staff, used this as the basis for quite
a write-up in his paper, in which the writer
hei'eof was depicted as having been precipi-
tated to the floor by reason of the breaking
down of his chair, to his great embarrassment.
It was also stated that this accident materially
affected the result of the case, intending to in-
dicate that the counsel thus affected was un-
able to proceed properly with the case. The
writer M^as also depicted as having to huddle
in a heajj on the Court railing.

Now the writer hereof is not unlike the
writer of the article above referred to, in that

he is tall. He may have looked awkward
under the circumstances, as I have seen others
in less extenuating circumstances. The writer,
however, at the time of the trial of the case in
the Practice Court, had tried other cases in
which .real money was involved and certainly
had passed through the embarrassing stage.
The writer admits having in times past wished
for some hole in the floor in which he could
have vanished through, but at the time of the
ease above referi'ed to certainlj^ was not em-
barrassed.

It is said that one's reputation acquired
early in a professional career affects his whole
life. Certainly a good reputation is an asset
not to be despised in any profession or busi-
ness. On the contrary, a reputation for un-
truthfulness must in the end be disastrous, not
only to the party himself, but to those who
depend on him. The writer wishes to express
the hope, therefore, that our learned law editor
will not let his gi'eat ambition obscure this
homely truth; that none of his clients will suf-
fer by reason of such propensity in our learned
editor, if lu- decides to i:)racticc law after his
graduation from the worthy institution he now
represents; and that he will be an honest, true
lawyer and an honor to the profession he is
about to enter upon, and that he will not in the
future' distort facts or be untruthful for pur-
poses of immediate gain. Very truly yours,

MUREAY MacNABB.

Senior Theatre Party.

The day and uight classes of the Senior year
held a theatre jjarty at the Academy of Music,
Friday night, March 13th. Hattie Williauiw
and Richard Carle gave a musical comedy enti-
tled "The Doll Girl." The scenery was beau-
tiful, especially in the first act, which repre-
sented a scene in a French college. The acting,
Avhile not exceiDtional, was quite acceptable.
The groui^ings in the various songs were quite
Ijretty. Richard Carle made quite a hit in a
bit of pantomime with a clever fellow dressed
as his double. The costumes were exquisite
and changed frequently. Both the second and
third act opened with a whirl of dancing, the
one in a gay Parisian ballroom and the other
on a hotel lawn in the moonlight. The Seniors
were well represented, two boxes being filled,
quite a gathering in the orchestra and not a
few sprinkled throughout other parts of the
theatre.

C. M. Daley, of the Senior Day Class, has
returned to class again after being confined to
his home for three weeks with an ulcerated
stomach. We are glad to have him with us
once more.

Mr. Daly, of the West Publishing House,
( 'hicago, spent a week with us the past month,
giving his anniuxl lectures to the Senior Class
on ' ' The LTse of Law Books. ' '

The president of the Senior Night Class very
nearly required the assistance of one or two
husky Dental men the other Friday night.
Owing to close juxtaposition of class hours, he
was comijelled to finish Ms dessert in Ana-
tomical Hall during pleading exercises. Un-
fortunately, Mr. Sappingtou called upon him
at that most inopportune moment when our
friend's molars had inextricably imbedded
themselves upon a tenacious bit of Ortmuller's
best taft'y. The combination was most disas-
trous, not oniy to the dignity of our worthy
president and his answer, but to the general
order and well being of both lecturer and class.
"Old Mai'yland" suggests that a few morsels
of Iluyler's bonbons might be more easily and
hastily disposed of in an emergency.

"Old Maryland" hastens to apalogize to the
Senior Day Treasurer, Mr. G. A. Eppley, for
the great oversight in speaking of him in our
last issue as a married man, thus, in no small
measure, spoiling his future chances for matri-
monial bliss. We most earnestly desire that
these lines may come to the notice of any of
those bewitching young damsels who, having
set their caps for our worthy treasurer, were
distressed to learn, through our gross negli-
gence, of a former entanglement. We pros-
trate ourselves in humility before Mr. Eppley
for our misconduct. Our only hope now is that
this advertisement of Mr. E's presence upon
the matrimonial market will not cause him to
become unnerved by the number of proposals
that will shortly flood his office.

Mr. Murray MacNabb, of Harford county,

Law — Intermediate.

The Intermediate Class of the Law Depart-
ment has taken upon itself the task of placing
the University of Maryland on the map, and
they are going to do it all by themselves and
will brook no interference from other classes.
The Intermediate Class — or otherwise known
as the Law Department — is living, acting, pro-
gressing, and is leaving a trail of light in its
wake. The Senior Chiss is impossible, jjoor old
brain-fagged molly-coddles who have no time
for anything but home, chicken and a lecture.
Tiu^ Juniors are almost hopeless; they've been
here nearly a year, and but for the fact that
yovi occasionally see a shy, stooped figure with
a froggish expression on its face slink by yon
wouldn't know there was a Junior Class. The
intermediate Class is the dominant factor in
class life (ask the Senior class "avIio's
boss."). If the other classes are satisfied to
sleep and let the University of Maryland con-
tinue its Kip Van Winkle stunt, the Interme-

Sorry we are to disturb our poor old Univer-
sity's slumber, but we're going forward and it

must go along.

Judge Rose to keep up must keep his voice
up, and to keep liis voice up is a strain on him.
Therefore, the members of the class should con-
sider the size of the class, the poor acoustics and
at least do the lecturer the honor of not thump-
ing out and banging the door during his lec-
ture.

Dental — Senior.

L. D. Bell was heard to remark that an Eng-
lishman may be slow, but when he does see the
point he can appreciate it. He has reference to
liis own speech in Dr. Davis' conference.

Dr. Patterson's plate is still holding the cen-
ter of the stage and has become a young night-
mare to some of the fellows. It is fine practice,
and the man who is careless of how he expresses
himself can enjoy it ; but it is surely hard on us
Christians.

noon recently instructing the boys how to do
something with nothing. Come again, "Casey."

contest between the married and single men of
the Senior Class. The "Benedicts" will be com-
posed of Tiss, Jenkins, Whalen, Iceland, and
Pieper, while the "Woman Haters" will oppose
them with Samuel, Holmes, Spoon, Foster, and
Robinson.

The iiarlieular friends of Mr. Foley wish note
to be taken of the fact that he began his labo-
ratory work on February 10th.

Mr. lioaziiiMU was so ranfortunate as to drop

undergone an operation for acute appendicitis.
Mr. Hachman has been confined to his room
luirsing an attack of mumps. Their many

Dr. Valentine— " Student ? "What class?"

Dentry — ' ' Senior. ' '

Dr. Valentine — "Are you posted?"

Dentry— "Posted? What do you mean by
posted?"

Dr. Valentine — "Look on the infirmary door
and if your name is on the list, note the date
and appear at the chair for assignment. Yon
seem to be a year and a half behind require-
ments."

Dentry (solilo(iuizing) — "Gee, but it re-

Miss Carter has been having great difficulty
in keeping her metal plate and teeth in her pos-
session. She says the impression room is a
rendezvous for unscrupulous and pilfering den-

Samuel. Taylor and Aekrill as miscreants.
Simders has been doing detective work for her.

A unmber of the young men in school have

Fhelan — "Providence is the most beautiful

Dr. Patterson — "Did you men come here to
avoid greatness and wealth, or did you come
for som.ething you couldn't get in New Eng-
land?"

Stranger (appearing in door) — "Can any of

H. J. Foley spent a jjleasant week-end visit
in Washington, leaving here January 31st. On
the afternoon of that day, in company with
Trinity College girls, he went to the theater,
in the evening to the Shoreham for dinner,
after which the rest of the evening was spent
in dancing. Good fortune did not smile on hiiu
Sunday. On that day he was caught bj' the
Dean of Trinity as he was driving in an oijen
cab up Pennsylvania avenue with three Trinity
girls. It is claimed that Foley beat a hasty re-
treat, and the girls barely escaped a severe
punishment.

Dr. Baskiii is coufiued to Quarantine with
smallpox. We sincerely regret his illness and
hope to have him with us soon. However, we
are willing to wait until he has completely re-
covered from the malady.

Mr. Yost has aroused the interest of his many
friends hecause of recent conduct which is hard
to explain. Where was he from 4 P. M., Feb-
ruary 2nd, to 6 A. M. the next morning? And
where does he spend his Friday and Sunday
evenings .' Why does he long for May to come .'
Yes, and his Fraternity pin occuiiies a ward in
the hosi)ital. Who is sick ?

Mr. Olive spent a very profitable evening at
the New Theatre one "country store" evening.
He came away benefited to the extent of six
bars of Sweetheart soap and a bath towel. But
what became of his acquisition?

On February 28th, Mr. Askins met with the
misfortune of having his hair badly burned by
becoming ignited from too close conta-ct with
his alcohol- lamp. Messrs. Samuel and Gold-
strom composed the voluntary fire dejjartment
which extinguished the flames before they
spi'ead to his whiskers.

On the afternoon of February 20th, Mrs.
Hicks and Misses Carter and Roof "were the
guests at a 5 o'clock tea given by the Phi

"Where was Mv. Ben Robinson, president of
Ihe Senior Class, coming from at 2 o'clock on
the morning of February 8th?" That element
of Cole Blease's constituency who penned that
ai'ticle is as careless in handling facts as his no-
toi-ious chief executive is unseru.pulovis in po-
litical activities. At the above hour the presi-
dent of the Senior Class was peacefully re-
]iosing in the arms of Morpheus, while Mr.
Piuist was racking his brain to determine if pos-
sible where he miglit borrow two-bits foi- keeps.

The following Senioi's were in Boston the
week of March 2nd, taking the Massachusetts
State Board: Messrs. Whalen, Hoy, Mitchell,
Foley, Lepine and Cooley.

On the evening of Friday, February 28th,
Mrs. Martha E. Hicks entertained a number of
the Dental students at her home, 2100 Callow
avenue. The following were present : Misses
Carter, Roof and McKeown, and Messrs.
Samuel, Groves, Askins, Vail, Holmes and
Lewis. The evening was spent in singing and
dancing. All report a most delightful evening.

Misses Carter and Roof gave an informal
dance on Saturday evening, March 14th,, at
their home, 14 East Franklin street. Those
])i-esent from the University were Messrs.
Sanders. Groves, Lewis, Holmes, Hachman,

Dental — Junior.

Mr. J. J. Purcell, Jr., president of the Junior
Class, is again in school. He was called home
very suddenly on account of the death of his
mother. We wish to extend to him our deepest
sympathy.

Mr. Secrest has returned from Minneapolis
after having had a very jjleasant time.

Dr. Davis says that he would like to see
more of the members of the Junior Class work-
ing in the infirmary. Remember, fellows, we
only have about eight wrecks in which to get
our work ofif, so get busy.

The Junior Class expects to have a cracker-
jack ball team this spiring, and we challenge
any of the other departments for a game.

Concert-Dance.

On the evening of April 14th there will be a
concert-dance given by the University Glee
Club and Orcliestra. The former has been or-
ganized through the efforts of Dr. W. A. Rea.
and the present performance will be under his
direction. The latter is the result of Mr. Sal-
vador A. Cocco's applied energy, and through
his untiring efforts a degree of perfection has
been attained that jsutifies the appearance of
the orchestra on this occasion.

l^r. Rea has been working for over a year
with the Glee Club organization, and in that
time has been gratified by having the boys ap-
pear on two different occasions with a vei-y

creditable showing. He lias at present between
twenty and twenty-five men who are working
diligently to put on a first-class program in-
tended for the first appearance before the Uni-
versity body. These twenty-five voices range
so well that an admirable arrangement of num-
bers on parts can be secured.

Mr. Cocco, of the Dental Senior Class, has
his orchestra W'ell advanced in their practice,
and his friends and co-laborers are confident
that he will bring the boys imder him to a de-
gree of perfection which will be most gratify-
ing to the friends of the school. The leader is
fully qualified for his work, having had several
years' experience in orchestra work, and a
graduate in music.

Both Glee Club and Orchestra are made up
of University boys from all departments, and
are doing their best to bring honor to the insti-
tution and offer a pleasant evening to the stu-
dimts.

The smallpox scare in Baltimore has caused
many Freshmen to have their arms scraped.
Sore arms are the style nowadays.

Not to be outdone b.y the Seniors and Ju-

L. A. Bennett, our esteemed classmate, whc,

Pharmacy— Senior.

Miss ('aniien Bunitzey, of Poi/to Rico, a grad-
uate of this department, was recently married
to the son of Dr. Rapliael Jauer.

The new eourso of Pharinaeenlieal Jurispru-
dence promises to be well attended, owing to
the following ladies being i:>resent: Blisses A.
B. Cole, C. G. Mossop, Flora Blattstein, E.
Grace Lotz and A. Sonneborn. These ladies are
graduates of this department, who, realizing
the man.y advantages of this recently added
course, are availing themselves of this oppor-
tunity to keep out of the hands of the law.

Mr. I. Leideman, according to recent reports,
is engaged to be married. We do not doubt
this nor feel a bit surprised, as this gentleman
is (|uite a favorite with the ladies.

Mr. C. K. Stottlemeyer has returned to the
class after several days of illness. Mr. Storm
has also returned to the class after several days'
illness. .

Mr. L. R. Dukes was recently initiated ijito
the mysteries of the Kappi Psi Fraternity. "We
feel that Mr. Dukes wall make a good "Frat"
man, as he is a product of the "Eastern ShoV'
and — well, we all know about those bovs.

Owing to a recent blow-out by one of the
radiators, Mr. Flomm became "greatly" agi-
tated and has not been himself since. Mr.
Flomm passed through the "Lab" at a speed
unsurpassed.

We were very sorry to learn of the death of
the father of Professor Charles Plitt, of this de-

Plitt our sincere sympathies.

A few renmi'ks heard after the bowling
match between Pharmacy men and Dental men
of the University of Maryland:

Pharmacy is making a' name for herself in
the bowling game.

By the way, that boy Demarco is some artist
on the "Long Lane That Has No Turning."

We don't like to call names, but the presi-
dent of the Junior Class was most conspicu-
ously absent. Is this the proper way for him
to act?

Can Demarco bowl ? Ask Tiss.
Demarco (after the game, on being called

the attendance was smaller than usual.

L. L. Charmar has been appointed as first

ject was "Sport and War in Africa." It was
illustrated. The second was by Dr. Wilkinson,
on "George Meredith Contrasted with Thomas

NURSING.

The regular quarterly meeting of the Nurses"
Alumnae Association of the University of Mary-
land was held at the University Hospital on
the evening of February 28th. Mrs. Charles
McNabb (nee Weitzel), of Cardiff, Md., gave
an interesting talk, telling the nurses of the
ojipoi'tunities and responsibilities in their work.
])articularly along the lines of private nursing.
The Senior Class attended. Refreshments were
served.

Miss Margaret 6. Laws, class of 1913, is sub-

Y. M. C. A.

Wliile reading on Saturday afternoon, Marcli
6tli, in the lower Y. M. C. A. hall, I heard a
noise not unlike thunder, which an instant later
proved to be someone stumbling into the hall
by way of the west door of the main entrance,
who, upon entering the room, disrobed his coat
and spread it over- one of the larger tables,
which, as we know, adds to the attractiveness
of the periodicals( ?), as if trying to encircle
it as a hen would hover over her little ones.

After making what seemed upon its com-
pletion to be an official inspection of the swim-
ming pool, shower baths, gymnasium rooms and

ix'turning to the reading room, he volunteered
the remarks: "The place seems to be in pretty
lair condition at this time" (in the tone of
voice which would suggest that he had inter-
ested himself enough to have detected before a
less creditable condition of affairs). "Yes," I
replied, at which moment it occurred to me
that he perhaps was alluding to an article in
"Old Maryland" which, incidentally, had been
called to my attention an hour or so before.
Upon this recollection, 1 answered in the affirm-
ative, and added: "Who was the thoughtful
writer?" Pointing his right index finger to,
and pressing upon his second vest button, and
at the same time with that characteristic but
meaningless smile, very egotistically said, "I."
Whence he (like the fairies when they have
accomplished their purpose) instantly made his
exit.

As regards the condition of the basement of
Davidge Hall, would say that it is entirely out
of the jurisdiction of the Law Department or
anyone affiliated therewith. The conditions are
exactly the same now each day as they were
at the beginning of the season, and they were
improved on the particular above-mentioned
day only from the fact that there are few, if
any, lectures on Saturday afternoons, for which
reason the halls are not used as lunch rooms, as
on all other school days.

As regards the heat, would say that the fur-
nace has passed through its "maw" a ton of
coal approximately every five days — which, by
the way, is Jiot supplied with the receipts of
the four membership subscription fees ($1.00
each per year) from the students of the Law
Department, and, further, the fuel is not fed
to the furnace by means of any comiDensation
from the LaAv Department, who were asked to
(Jo a small pai't towards this end (who, by the
wa,y, yet have a chance to pi-ove their willing-
ness).

As regards ventilation in Davidge Hall, the
writer is not interested, but might add that, so
long as the I'niversity has not as yet reached
tile lu'ight that it will have reached when it
M'ill see fit to furnish a valet for each student,
the spacious windows in Davidge Hall are sup-
plied with sashes ^Adiich have those ancient but
ingenious little devices — the sash weights —
wliich, by aid of the mere touch of the finger,
will raise the sash, thereby affording ventila-
tion.

"As regards the officers of Y. M. C. A., would
say that the persons whose office it is to know
the conditions are constantly aware of same,
and have expressed not a few times, not only
in manner but in words, their gratification as
to the conditions of the Y. M. C. A. halls com-
pared to that of former years and under the
financial conditions of the slowly but steadily
progressing branch of the Y. M. C. A.

In conclusion, would suggest that the adven-
turer, instead of being a knocker, become a
booster and bring about a few more subscrip-
tions from his department.

QUIPS.

Law Student — "Professor, maj' I ask a ques-
tion?"

Prof essor—" Shoot. "

Stude — "Suppose etc., etc. AVhat is the etc.,
etc.?"

Learned Professor — "I think the masium
Septemberus Morneus would apply, but it's
just possible that the recent ease of Day Class
vs. Night Class, U. of M. 1915, may have some
bearing on the question. On the other hand,
we must consider the lilies, whereas it would
seem most unfortunate that a law student can-
not pass the bar (without buying a drink).
For instance, imagine, if you can, the agony of
a starving law student as he dreams of a ham
sandwich. Conversely, imagine the agony of
the sandwich as it dreams of the student. But
the facts in this ease differ from those of the
ease in which the deal held five aces. Here the
plaintiff, mistaking a bottle of water for a bot-
tle of gin, swallowed a generous mouthful. But
he could not withstand the shock received by
his outraged interior, and within three minutes
after having showered this water surprise upon
his digestive system the unfortunate plaintiff
kicked the bucket and is now looking down
(or up) upon us. The proposition is well set-
tled, however, that before you can smoke a
cigar you must light it. Have I fully answered
your question?"

Gasping Stude — "Yes, sir. Gratitude, much
gratitude, sir."

28 East Baltimore St. Baltimore, Md.

University of Maryland, Feb. 29th, '14.
Dear Father: —

There have been some big things doing
around the old University of late. I must tell
j'ou about the Theta Nu Epsilon cabaret din-
ner, held at the Rennert on February 28th. It
was "some feed," Avith great planked steaks
and yellow, red, white and green things to
drink. While we were eating, the Royal Ha-
waiian Sextet, from Honolulu, came dashing
into the room, singing and dancing between the
tables.

The costume of these people is very interest-
ing and not at all conventional. The women
wore short grass skirts and had strings of beads
around their necks ; their feet were bare and
their black hair hung down over their bare
shoulders.

They sing in a wonderful way. Mysterious
minor notes which majve the creeps run up your
back. When they dance you don't hear them
sing, because you are intent on the agility dis-
played. They can dance almost standing in
one spot, but once in a while they make one or
two cute little movements with their feet just
to show j'ou they can do it. It is true art, and
there was nothing rude in the performance.
However, it had a very strange effect on some
of the overly temperamental men present. Dr.
Scott and Dr. Stem were much upset and
clutched the backs of their chairs with excite-
ment. Every one felt sorry for tnem.

There was absolutely nothing formal at this
"feed," and no set speeches, as Dr. Carroll put
it up to the active members to call on whom
they wished. At once, all who wished to speak
began to look conscious, and in other wa.ys let
it be known that they were on the job. The
anxious ones had to wait until Dr. Shipley, Dr.
Edmunds, Dr. Hopkinson and Dr. Neale and
some half dozen others had "produced." Dr.
Hopkinson was splendid in his vocal selections.
He is one of our new honorary members and we
are proud of him and all of them. It's a fine
buncli, and gives extra "backbone" to our
strong fraternity.

but happy, as he sat pressing a bunch of violets
to his nose and then to his heart. Dr. Neale
said that he was the most modest man he knew,
so we called on him. He told us that this was
a deceitful world, full of traps for all, and that
the only Avay not to be observed and caught,
was not to blow your own horn. Blushingly
he presented the violets to Dr. Neale, and this
made a very pretty picture.

Then Dr. Edmunds attempted to convince
us that we could well emulate the steam engine.
We can't do it, for we are human and the en-
gine is iron, while we are bone and flesh. He is a
bold man and is proud of "my ward." (That's
why he thinks so much about engines.)

Dr. Nathan Winslow Avas very serious and
dignified. He made a fine si^eech. (H you send
him this letter he may publish it since I have
said this about him.)

Dr. Coleman spoke well. "We had wished to
hear about the hospital he owned last year,
but perhaps he does not own it this year. You
can't always tell, however. We hope he will
own one at the next "feed."

And so it went, dear father : It Avas great
all the way through, and all of us know that
T. N. E. is the big thing down here. It is a
fraternity of fraternities, and since Ave have
no campus or dormitory life to engender col-
lege spirit. T, N. E. fills the gap in no small
way. I will send along a list of the men
present at the dinner. You will see from this
that it is an honor to belong to such a bunch
of "good ones."

The suggestions in our last issue relative to
a dormitory, a commercial department and
amalgamation with the Maryland Institute for
a department of fine arts are well put and
timely. But we must not lose sight of unity.
'J'here are two kinds. We can string diamonds
in a graduated chain, easily broken and parts
lost. We can mount the same gems into a com-
pact, durable, glittering cluster. AVhat are the
aim and outlook of our University? Are we
endeavoring to string together a chain of
schools and colleges of varying size, strength
and brilliancy easily dismembered by petty
..jealousies and individual pride of birth? We
li'ust not. Rather are we trying to build up a
closely fused and welded body, compact, en-
iluriug, to strive always for yet higher staud-
jTils in Ihe education of the slate and nation.

To do this we must get out of our rut and
u;n-i-(n\e(l lines of thought. We must raise (Uir
iieals and enlai'ge our vision. We must tliiuk
.■ind do gr(>at things.

To obtain results the I'liiversity should be
belter Hnanced and better housed. We should
live and liouse our students in a cleaner,
lieMJtliiei' atmosphere. Thei'e should be an ade-
quate ;ind liai'mouious gi'OU|> of buildings, with
land enough for eidargement ennsisteut with a
healthy gi-o\vth. There should be means for
chairs in particular sciences, for scholarshijjs
and I'eseai'ch work.

Look not aghast or smilingly ]iut this aside
as the vision of a di^amer. It can be done, if
we only put our hearts, minds and pocketbooks
earnestly to the work.

THE MARYLAND STATE UNIVERSITY;
ITS COMPOSITION AND SCOPE.*

By Thomas Fell

Provost of the University of Maryland.

It is generally admitted that the State of
Jlarylaud has for many years been appropri-
ating large sums of money annually to the sup-
port of various institutions of learning over
which it had no control, and that if the amount
were concentrated upon a State university bet-
ter results would be derived by the community.

The original idea in 1782 of the founders of
education in this State was to affiliate St.
John's College, on the Western Shore, with
Washington College, on the Eastern Shore, so
as to form the nucleus of the State University
of Maryland.

In 1868 the same plan was put forward in
an excellent bill drafted after the close of the
Civil War by which St. John's College, Wash-
ington College and the Maryland Agricultural
College were affiliated with a law school co
form a State university.

The State, however, was not readv at that
time to adopt this plan, but set itself to evolve
a satisfactory public school system, which,
after many years, is now fairly accomplished.

It was believed, therefore, by statesmen that
the time had at last arrived when Marj'land
might face its problem of higher education and
perfect a comprehensive and constructive
scheme simihir to that in vogue iji most of the
Southern and Western States.

Senator W. J\I. Maloy became interested in
the subject, and through his efforts the Gen-
eral Assembly has passed a bill creating a
I\Iaryland State universitJ^

The bill may be said to be the concrete ex-
pression of the application of the principles of
efficiency and economy to the field of educa-
tion, and the incorporation into law of tlie

"Reprinted from i\\e "Evening Sun" of April 20,
1914.

principle that State-aided institutions must
come under the direct control of the State, and
constitute an efficient and co-ordinated whole,
working in harmony along the most advanced
lines to a well-defined goal.

It does not call for the elimination of facul-
ties and institutions for the purpose of central-
izing all educational work in a single locality,
but follows the example adopted in Georgia,
Ohio, Missouri and elsewhere of co-ordinating
various colleges under the direction of a cen-
tral board of regents.

Its resources will be those of the institutions
which voluntarily bind themselves together to
form a co-ordinated and integral whole, and
which look to the State for support.

Its governing board will be composed of the
following: The Governor, the State Comptrol-
ler, the State Superintendent of Education, six
persons to be appointed by the Governor for
terms ranging from two to six years, and none
of whom shall be connected with any of the
affiliated institutions of the university, and two
representatives from each of the institutions
which may become affiliated with the univer-
sity.

By way of precaution and of emphasizing
the purely voluntary character of the action of
affiliating institutions, it is provided that the
affiliation with the said university of any other
institution shall not be held to deprive such
institution of any of its corporate rights, privi-
leges of franchise under its charter and the
supplements thereto, nor in any way injurious-
ly to aft'ect or impair the same, nor vest in the
said university the right or title to any of the
property of such other institution, except as
sliall be mutually and distinctly agreed on in
writing between the governing bodies of such
institutions and of the said university.

The board of regents is fully empowered to
make and publish rules - respecting the admis-
sion of institutions which desire to affiliate, the
courses of study to be prescribed therein, the

OLD MARYLAND.

qualificatious of graduation therefrom. It is
likewise given such appropriate and incidental
powers as those of acquiring and disposing of
property, holding commencements, granting
degrees and terminating agreements of affilia-
tion where the standards and other conditions
are not complied with.

It is desirable that the Governor should sum-
mon the incorporators without delay, and then
proceed to make his appointments to the board
of regents, in order that the organization may
be effected before the close of the present schol-
astic session, as the act requii-es that the prime
duty of the board of regents is to provide for
a closer relation between the high schools of
the State and the colleges affiliated under the
charter, and also between the said colleges and
professional schools constituting the university.

With such a law to work under nearly 2,000
students, being the enrollment of the institu-
tions specified in the act, will constitute the
university, and efficiency and order will be es-
tablished in the field of collegiate education in
this State; the educational standards will be
raised to meet those of the most progressive
States; larger resources, better ec[uippedand
stronger faculties will combine to promote sci-
ence and letters ; and, for its large expenditure
of money, the State will be able to call upon
an efficient organization for advice and assist-
ance in the solution of many great economic
and municipal problems which it will be the
business of the university to study and ex-
pound.

Madam President, Members of the Alumnae,

Nurses of the Training School :
By Mrs. Chas. H. McNabb, nee Venie Weitzel,
Class of 1894.

It might seem almost presumption, on my
part, to accept an invitation to speak to you
to-night, in this age of progression, on a sub-
ject in which I 'm confident many of my hearers
are more "up-to-date" than I could possibly
be, after nearly four years absence from the
fold of active service. However, my only ex-
cuse is, being asked, added to a prick of con-
science from a dormant sense of duty and
association of the past, so I trust you will be
lenient in j^our criticism of a back number,
as I xinderstand it shall be my small part to

start the discussion for tonight in a general
way, and on the theory of: That once a nurse,
always a nurse, shall venture on this subject
with a hope of many voices to follow.

In the beginning, I should like to throw the
responsibility of the hardship of talking to
ones own AJumnae (public speaking if you
choose) somewhere. Let's have a family
party tonight, a heart-to-heart talk. Why?
We all stand in exactly the same place on this
subject. I might say I feel like the man about
to be hung. Standing in a box, when the trap
was about to be sprung, looked around — ex-
claimed — "Oh, why this is a very pleasant
place!"

The fact is, the trap does not always spring
and we are here to do well or do ill with the
subject in hand.

"The Private Nurse — Her Responsibilities."
What an inexhaustible subject, why, it would
take, at least, a three day session to dispose
of it.

What is the private nurse? She is, at once,
the nurse, the doctor the domestic regulator
and civic educator. What a responsibility?
Ves, her domain far putreaches any four walls
ever built, altho' many will not accept this
theory. The fact remains the same.

The prevailing sentiment is that hers is an
ju'duous, morbid existence — True, it is arduous
— necessarily in face of constantly changing
conditions and adaptability to different tem-
perments. All joy has a balance in sorrow,
and while it is our lot to minister much in the
latter, even this, while not always to our liking,
goes to make up a stupendous whole — and the
quotation comes to me, "In Joy we become
acquainted. In Sorrow we understand."

Let us look at our responsibilities in the
guise of a privilege for a few minutes, after
having shouldered some heavy burden and
come off victorious, are we not the stronger
for that experience? I think you will agree
with me. Do we not choose that very line of
work, because we prefer it, for some reason
or another? Does it not follow that we miist
be better adapted for it than any other?

With all the vocations open to women, and
especially trained women, today, there are
iiianjr avenues of escape, but we do not escape.
After having entered the private field, I do not
believe, really and truly, that the majority
would choose any substitute. There is a side

OLD MARYLAND.

of absolute freedom, when that much enjoyed
"off duty" period comes. That has a unique
charm — I believe we accept its privileges (it
may be blindly) as almost equivalent to its
responsibilities, and if we were asked, after
appreciating this fact, Avliat we would rather
be than a private nurse, some of lis would, at
least, answer the question, as did the Irishman
in the parley about nationalities. The Scotch-
man asked the Englishman what he would
rather be if he were not an Englishman, and he
said, "Why, a Scotchman."

The Englishman, in turn, asked the Scotch-
man what he Avould rather be if he were not
a Scotchman, and, with due deference, he said,
"Why, I'd rather be an Englishman."

Turning to the Irishman, they said, "Pat,
you are mighty quiet. What would you rather
be if ,you were not an Irishman?" He replied,
"And faith and begorry, if I were not an Irish-
man, I'd be ashamed of myself."

Are not many graduates, who take other
positions from time to time, secured from the
rank and file of the private nurse?

Is there anj^thing that makes esteem rise in
your i^ersonal thermometer as a recognition of
your true worth, (based on primary founda-
tion principles) in any position to which you
may be called? I hear a voice say, "Hoav
about the ingratitute you get?" Very true,
and get it often, and never will our education
reach that point that this can be consoled. — ■
This would mean human reformation.

I have in mind a nurse who has almost
sealed this height — I refer to Miss Lillian Wald,
of the Henry Street Settlement, New York,
Avho we point out with pride.

Did not (our own) Florence Nightingale.
whose cap you wear, minister to the wants of
men in war? There were no organizations
then. St. Thomas', London, which she estab-
lished, was not in existence until 1860, and from
that time, we have a constant demand for
longer study and more efficient women in our
ranks, until we find ourselves facing examining
boards, the same as the medical profession, and
the 'aspiration steadily growing — to become an
R. N.

All things are judged by comparison, and
when I compare the advantages of the private
irarses (even in my time) by way of shorter
hours — safe guards thrown around them by
Alumnae Associations — ^vigilant women (watch-

ing the laws of the state) which guard your
rights and encourage higher and better stand-
ards even trying now to add to this (political
freedom) I cannot help but feel their lot is
getting better all the time.

Why, it was no uncommon thing to be on
duty 21 houi's out of 24. When isolated, away
off from surgeon, doctor and all necessary ap-
pliances, when the private nurse verily became
a small hospital (on two feet only) and it is
on this point I want to dwell a moment. On
the esiDccial value of association with our
school and alumnae after we leave it. We well
know that all things have their pros and cons
and ifs and buts — Training Schools — Alum-
nae (much as we love you) we cannot claim
for you exemption. What is an Alumnae for,
if not a common ground to further our indi-
vidual interests, collectively? What happens
when we leave the boundaries of Maryland?
The first question asked is, "Of what Alumnae
are you a member?" When positions come
from the Army, Navy or Red Cross, the appeal
comes to your Alumnae for as man.y R. N.'s
as can or will heed the call, and just a word
in passing for the Red Cross. We have, in
our numbers, those who have seen service in
this Society and of whom Ave should feel justly
proud. There is no monument so high, no
granite so enduring, as this tribute to brave,
loving, loyal Avomanhood — The Red Cross
Society.

This is Woman's Age, and the private nurse
jjlays no mean part in its progress, if she be
aAvake and grasp her opportunities as they
come to her. May I suggest, as a help, an
acquaintance with all civic questions, to further
this end. We must accept the progressive
spirit of the age. We cannot stand still. If
Ave do, we become a reactionary, and the effect
is upon Avhom? Ourselves and our Alma Ma-
ter. It ill behooves any of us to turn onv
backs on the school that gave us birth.

It was, Avith a feeling of pride that I heard
in the Senate Chamber at Annapolis last Aveek,
in the course of a discussion, "I'm a graduate
of the University of Maryland, that grand old
school and there is none better."

Each one of us has a personal share in this
public recommendation, as many of you know
that the Training School of the University of
Maryland has the same seal as the other De-
partments of the University. This is not so.

OLD MARYLAND.

generally speaking, of training schools. We
mnst have had men in the past who thought
well enough of us to give us this honor.

Believe in yourselves — You have a noble
heritage, believe it, cherish it, further its in-
terests for your own best interests.

Before leaving this subject, another thought
comes to me — The Re-creation of the Private
nurse. It may come to us in many forms. To
take interest in the public aii'airs of today is
not only a help, but is almost a necessity. In
this, too, I may say we have among our num-
bers those versed in the stock markets. A most
valuable asset when associated with business
men.

I could go on indefinitely pointing out ways
and means. The lecture courses of Miss Janet
Richards are a store house of information — in-
valuable, because they give up-to-date informa-
tion in a nut shell, so to speak, and so the worn
out phrase (no time) must retire. What would
take months to get by reading, we get in a few
hours.

All change is rest. Get as many view-points
as you can and so rest that over worked spot
in your grey matter, private nursing.

There are several veiled suggestions in this
talk, so T trust to hear from a great many pro
and con. I cannot yield the floor, however,
until I go back and hang up a conclusion on
that peg T left hanging out in my preamble.
It is this — We have gotten much froui our
superintendents and teachers by way of a
foundation, but, is it asking too much to give
a little time in the curriculum of our training,
to prepare us for the necessary duties of the
AHimnae? I offer this- suggestion or appeal
in all seriousness. There are so few who are
not embarrassed when called on to serve. Well
do I remember when T had the honor to serve
as President for four years, how I closeted
myself and tried to see how talking out loud
sounded, and to swallow four authorities on
Parliamentary Law. until I had intellectual
indigestion, night after night, and the worst
of it is, I still have it.

With the greatest sympathy for our superin-
tendents, may we not have the A-B-0 of the
how, when and where of public speaking for
our mutual advancement?

J thank vou.

MAKY'S LAMB IN CHEMISTRY.

Mary's lamb was full of fleas,

Which fact made Mary blue;
But now it's clean, she washed his hide

With HgCP.

The Iamb got constipated, then

Was ordered Calomel,
Took ten grains HgCl-

For plain HgCl.

Poor lamb has gone to (the Hospital).

Mary has such lovely hair,

The prettiest golden hue,
Which ne'er can fade, for Mary has

On hand H^O::.

Once Mary would a shopping go
(She went without her popper),

She wanted many things, but then
She'd left without a Cu.

Mary had an awful thirst

One day, not long ago;
She strolled into a beer saloon

And ordered H2O.

Our Mary then was handed

A yellow-looking mess,
Which looked some like an egg-nogg

And smelled like H^S.

Mary's thirst is quenched at last,
She fixed it in an ice-cream den ;

She asked for a plain soda,
But was given HCN.

— H.M.Robbinson, '09.

FAVORS LOVE-MAKING!

The Professor Emeritus of the University of
Michigan is quoted as having made the state-
ment that love-making is an art and should be
learned as a part of a college curriculum
(voicing the sentiments of D. F. McMullen,
Kanode and Zimmerman). He makes an ap-
peal that the men should not wait until they
are thirty-five before looking at the fair sex.

Professor McKeever, of Kansas University,
declares that any suppression of "puppy love"
is a great mistake.

This is one course that the students will not
petition the faculty to take off the schedule, as
they have in the case of Medical Jurisprudence
at this school.

If the faculty should see fit to make love-
making a regular course, it would be a case of
"Kiss me. kid, I need the credit."

I should manifest concern!

JOHN BEALE DAVIDGE, FATHER OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND.

Herewith we present Doctor John J3eale Da-
vidge, for whom Davidge Hall was named. Tt
was he who first entertained the idea of found-
ing tlie present University of Maryland and
was only deterred from starting the same earlier
than 1807 by the unwillingness of his colleagues
to associate themselves with him in such a
problematical undertaking. He was born at
Annapolis in 1768, and in due time entered St.
John's College, obtaining therefrom in 1789
the degree of M. A. He is thus doubly asso-
ciated with our institution, for this ancient and

honorable institution is now the academic de-
partment of our University. He began the
slud.y of medicine under the tutelage of the
Doctor Hurrays of Annapolis, later entered the
University of lOdiuburgh, but finally changed to
the Univer-sity of GlasgOAV, graduating there-
from with the degree of M. D., in 1793. After
practicing a short time in Birmingham, Eng-
land, he returned to his native state, locating in
Baltimore in 1796. In 1801 he began to ad-
vertise private courses of lectures to medical
students, Avhich were continued annually until
merged in 1807 into the College of Medicine of
Maryland, the pereursor of the University of
Maryland. From 1807 to 1812 he lectured upon
surgery, obstetrics and institutes, and from 1812
to his death he held the chairs of surgery or
anatomy, one or both. Doctor Davidge Avas
twice married, his first wife being Miss Wil-
helmina Stuart, of the Firth of Solway : his
second. Mrs. Rebecca Troup Polk, a widow, of
Harfoi'd County. Md. He left a son by his firsl
marriage, and three daughters by his second.
He died in 1829. He Imd great influence

throughout the State, was much beloved by his
acquaintances and revered by his students who
spoke of him as the father of the University
of Maryland. He was a man of iipright charac-
ter and unswerving integrity, of strong moral
and physical courage, a good citizen, faithful
and affectionate in his domestic relations and
enthusiastic student and finished scholar. It is
befitting that such a man should be honored
by the attachment of his name to a building of
the University of which he was the originator.
It would, however, have been more appropriate
to have named the main University building
Davidge Hall. We hope in the not distant future
to see the building which he did so much to
make possible, christened for the father of the
University and the present Davidge Hall
changed to Potter Hall, after another prominent
figure in the early days of the University's
career.

In order to assure a prompt delivery of
"Old Maryland" to the students of the Uni-
versity during the summer months, while away
on their vacation, the publishers of ' ' Old Mary-
land" earnestly request that all those who ex-
pect to leave town, will kindly send change of
address to this office.

Nothing Is Ever Accomplished If One Waits
Till All Opposition Is Overcome.

Messrs. Members of the Board of Regents
;ind Provost Fell, how about a combined gradu-
ation banquet? Heretofore each department
has been accustomed to hold its own affair. If
the University of Maryland wishes to impress
the public with its magnitude, now is the time,
and such an occasion as the above would go a
long way towards accomplishing the object, as
well as advertising the University. Those who
attended the Centennial Banquet will recollect
the impressiveness of the occasion, as well as
the enthusiasm displayed by those in attend-
auee. All too long have we been acciistomed to
holding separate puny affairs. Let's change
our way and get together. President Fell, get
busy. We want a combined banquet badly. In
brief, we need all the strength we can muster.
Last session the University made radical addi-
tions to the school by merging the medical, den-
tal and law departments of the Baltimore Med-
ical College with those of the University. The
graduates of the Baltimore Medical College, we
are pleased to announce, have accepted the
merger very graciously. In every way possible
they have made themselves as one of us and
have given their adopted mother a most loyal
sui^port. A combined banquet to which the
graduates of the Baltimore Medical College
would also be eligible should prove an impor-
tant factor in welding the forces of the Univer-
sity into one harmonious mass. Doubtless there
will be. some opposition to a banquet such as
proposed, but one must remember that nothing
is ever accomplished if one waits till all opposi-
tion is overcome.

EDITORIALET.

The closing j'ear at the University of Mary- '
land is one that should long be remembered.
The past year has been epochal ; it has seen the
merging of two of the South 's largest schools
and the transfusing into each a different and
beneficial spirit. It has seen a spirit of closer
unity manifested between the diiferent depart-
ments, a greater university fellowship dis-
played, and this largelj^ attributable to the
Baseball League and the Glee and Instrumen-
tal Clubs.

A factor in this spirit and the diffusion of it
has been "Old Maryland." The policy and ob-
ject of "Old Maryland" is to voice the views
and opinions of the undergraduate feody, to lay
their views before the eyes of the masters of the
institution and to make them see as the student
sees the excellence and the shortcomings of
their school. The mission of "Old Maryland"
is to carry to the eyes of those most of all the
world interested in the student — ^his father,
mother, sisters and brothers, sweetheart dnd
friends — the activities of the student, his fel-
low-students, and his school.

The editors of ' ' Old Maryland ' ' are alert and
gather throughout the school news that is of
interest to every one. An equal distribution of
space to each department is always attempted
and does not vary to any appreciable extent in
any issue.

ITEMS— GENERAL.

The Latin-American Club of the University
of Maryland held its annual banquet at the
Ilennert Hotel, Wednesday, April 15th.

The progress that the Latin countries have
made from a medical standpoint was outlined
in an address by Dr. Randolph Winslow, dean
of the University of Maryland.

Cuban Consul Cesar Barranco spoke on the
progress that the Latin countries have made
by watching America. Other addresses Avere
made by A. Balert, president of the elub, a.nd
Eehe Varria, its secretary.

MEMORIAL TABLET TO DR. CORDELL.

day, March 19, 1914. Thvee hundred and fifty-
six invitations were sent out, that being the
number of Pennsylvania alumni now on the
Secretary's list, including 113 Baltimore Medi-
cal College Alumni. Although the responses
were not very many, yet, the Medical Depart-
ment of the B. M. C, and the Medical, Dental
and Pharmacy Departments of the University
were represented and the "party" did not
break up until 12.30 A. M. James E. Clawson,
M.D., class of 1855, a charter and oldest mem-
ber and president of the branch, could not at-
tend the dinner on account of an attack of La
Grippe.

The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year :

President, W. H. Lowell, D.D.S., of Lancas-
ter.

Vice-President, Robert C. White, Phar.D., of
Philadelphia.

Secretary-Treasurer, J. C. C. Beale, D.D.S.,
of 41 South 15th street, Philadelphia.

All alumni residing in Pennsylvania are most
cordially invited to join the branch. The dues
are $1.00 per year. The 1915 meeting will be
held in Baltimore during comraencement week
of the University and a large attendance is
expected.

On Januar.y 25, 1914, the students' Bible class
of the University of Maryland, under the lead-
ershiji and guidance of Rev. Kenneth G. Mur-
ray, organized a literaiy society in connection
with the Bible class. The object of this society
))eing to familiarize its members with the Bible
and give them a literary training including
the parliamentary laws.

At the first regular meeting January 30th
the following oifieers were elected for the year
1914: President, Rev. K. G. Murray; first vice-
president, C. S. Peeler; second vice-president,
L. H. Smith ; third vice-president, R. M. Olive ;
secretary, J. A. B. Lowery ; treasurer, R. W.
Johnson; critic, H. Lasch ; historian, G. E. Tark-
ington. The program was then outlined for the

next regular meeting, which was held on Fri-
day, February 6, at 7 P. M. in the parlors of
Fayette Street Methodist Church, it having
been agreed iipon to hold a regular meeting on
Friday night of each week until the first Fri-
day in May, after which the work would be
discontinued until the following October.

The meetings have been very successful;
many new members have been enrolled, and
some very interesting questions, which con-
front the professional man daily, have been de-
bated with much enthusiasm by the members
of the various departments of the University.

"Old Maryland" desires to be entered as
second-class matter at the postoffiee. This can
only be accomplished by having a certain speci-
fied number of bona fide subscribers. We can
not expect each one of our subscribers to be a
sales agent, but we can expect him to help us
attain the required number of subscribers.
Raeh one has a friend to whom he can tell "Old
Maryland's'' worth; each one can suggest to
his friend that he subscribe. You want Uni-
versity spirit — here it is. Yoi; want class news
— here it is. You want official collegiate news —
liere it is. Your parents, your friends want
news of the school — "Old Maryland" is the
only medium through which they can obtain
that news.

A few men say, "It doesn't represent our de-
partment." We do to the limit of our space.
You can have greater representation by great-
er subscriptions, because with subscriptions we
can enlarge the paper. You are always anxious
to read "Old Maryland" Avhen it makes its ap-
pearance. You will then buy a single copy — ■
why not subscribe?

A greater University of Maryland calls for
more spirit; this year has aroused to some ex-
tent that somnolent spirit. Help the Univer-
sity to be a known college ! Help make the
school a school you will be proud of! If you
cannot be an active worker, let those who will
work for a greater university have your en-
couragement. See your class editor. Tell your
friends. Don't forget this suggestion. Let us
send you a paper while you are home ; let us .
Iceep you informed during the summer. Think M
spirit, talk spirit, act sisirit, and subscribe to
"Old Marvland."

MEDICAL— GRADUATE.

Dr. Wilmer Brintou, class of 1876, writes us
as follows :

"February 12, 1914.
"Dear Dr. Winslow :

"Please find enclosed, my cheek for the me-
morial tablet to be placed in Davidge Hall to
the memory of Dr. Eugene F. Cordell. What
a remarkable man he was, what a loyal son he
was of the University of Maryland ! Do you
not think there should be a more i^ermanent
tribute to his memory than a memorial tablet?
What do you think of raising $10,000, which
would give an annual income of, say, $450 or
$500, and awarding a "Cordell Scholarship"
every four years in the School of Medicine to
a worthy, deserving and competent young man
who is beginning the study of medicine at the
University of Maryland? This annual income
of $450 or $500 would pay his tiiition fees, pur-
chase his books and pay his board each year.

"If this plan or something on these lines to
perpetuate the name and work of our departed
friend meets the approval of those whom you
choose to consult, you can put me down for a
subscription of $50.

"Yours very truly,

' ' WILMER BRINTON. ' '

Why is it that at the Glee Club affair some
of us just had to cut loose with some good
dyed-in-the-wool roughneck sandpaper stuff?
The gentlemen of color were besieged by about
150 frantic young men in a hurry to get home
and study (?) to make up for time lost, when
some pill-jDusher jumped the fence into the
cloakroom and grabbed for his clothes. Imme-
diately a bargain rush was put to shame and
every one leaped the fence, each one grabbing
a coat — his own or otherwise — and doing the
"tree" act (do you get it?). Well, to cut a
long story short, that's how the Junior editor
lost his overcoat. But he's going around to
(_'oceo, and maybe he'll get warm — maybe.

A hint to our friend Rush :
more frequently.

But you have to hand it to Fritz. He gets
ahead of them all — even while they were play-

If we get a chance, next month we're going
to show the grads their mistakes in the Annual,
so look for it. And, by the way, the editor
saw a picture of his overcoat there, too!

Pretty good idea of Dr. Shipley's in giving

'there he lies.' "

What makes them give us an eye exam, this
year! Surely we've enough work as it is. Even
with all we learned (?) about it last year, it
takes time to scan it again, and with surgery

We Avish to extend our sympathy to Mr. Fay,
of our class, who recently sufifered a great be-
reavement in the death of his father.

Our sympathy is also extended to Mr. Eeitsil,
Mdio was called hojne on account of the death
of his uncle.

Examinations are almost here, so just one
word in reference to the honor system. Now
is the time when it is proven to be a success or
a failure ; the system is new at the University,

but there is no doubt that it is the only system
that should prevail in a university where the
students claim to be gentlemen. Let us as a
class prove that it is the thing that we really
want by carrying out its spirit to the fullest in
the coming exams. We are a large class and
sometimes there are temptations when one is
"up against it," but I do not believe that there
is a man in the class who would not rather
flunk than get anything dishonestly.

Silverstein recently sprung a new one on
Dr. Hemmeter. He says that diapedesis is

great discoveries in Physiology yet.

The engagement is announced of Mr. War-
ren Adams Stewart, class of 1911, to Miss Mar-

The wedding Avill take place some time during
the spring. Mr. Stewart is also a graduate of
the Johns Hopkins University, and is associ-
ated with his father, Mr. Hyland Price Stewart,
in the j)ractice of law in this city.

At the annual meeting of the Maryland So-
ciety, Sons of the American Revolution, held
at the Hotel Belvedere, April 20th, General
Lawrason Riggs, class of 1886, was elected pres-
ident. He succeeds Major George W. Hyde.

He will be gone about six weeks and will visit

The Young Lawyer's Chance.

In the Harvard Law Review for January
there is an article called "Suggestions from
Law School Graduates as to Where and How
to Begin Practice." It is written by Richard
Ames, secretary of the Harvard Law School,
and is based directly upon the 817 answers re-
ceived from a questionnaire issued to the 1692
men who graduated from the school in the ten
years preceding 1912. The more important

OLD MARYLAND.

questions were these: 1. ""What (as nearly
as you can estimate it) have been your net
earnings from law each, year since gradua-
tion?" 2. "Have you any suggestions to of-
fer to students about to graduate that might
be helpful to them in deciding where to locate
and under what conditions to begin practice?"

The table of average earnings made up from
the answers to the first of these questions con-
tains many interesting points. In general the
average was $664 for the first year, $5,325 for
the tenth. In New England the first year's
earnings averaged $524, in Boston, $495; out-
side of New England, $753, in New York, $720 ;
east of the Mississippi, $664, west of the Mis-
sissippi, $808; in cities over 100,000, $643; in
cities under $100,000, $783. In the eighth year
out — the last for which the averages are given
bj^ localities — the men in New England report
$3,902, in Boston, $4,266; outside New Eng-
land, $4,765 ; in New York, $4,210 ; east of the
Mississippi, $4,540; west of the Mississippi,
$4,010 ; in cities over 100,000, $4,551 ; in cities
under 100,000, $3,550.

Thus it appears that New England, over-
crowded with well-trained laAvyers, begins and
ends with the smallest showing. As between
New York and Boston, New York begins more
laromisingly, but, as time goes on, the two cities
show about the same results. As between the
East and the West, the West — in spite of the
low showing for the eighth year, based on re-
turns from only ten men — seems the land of
larger opportunity. There are many who a;d-
vocate settling in the South or West, on the
ground that as competition is less keen there a
beginner will have a better chance to get start-
ed on less capital and less backing, and will
make faster progress. Of the South one ardent
supporter writes: "There is no section which
affords better opportunities to an educated and
well-fitted man than the South does. What we
need here is leadership,, and the country is will-
ing to pay for it. We are in the midst of a
great prosperity and the promise of the futu*re
is splendid. Our industrial growth in the next
twenty years will undoubtedly exceed that of
any other section of the United States. The
South today is a commercial and democratic
South and one need not hesitate to east his lot
here simply because he is not a Southerner by
birth." As between the smaller and the larger
cities, the young lawyer in the larger i^lace

soon overtakes and passes his contemporary in
the smaller.

The Harvard Alumni Bulletin, commenting
on the statistics, says: "When it comes to the
larger questions of life — where it is best worth
living, how one is to make the most of it —
there is a wide variety of suggestion. The
'New York's the place' idea has its warm ad-
vocates. On the other hand, some one writes:
'Opportunities in the large cities are over-
rated. I have a classmate who felt obliged
from motives of filial duty to settle in a town
of about 8,000. His friends were inclined to
be sorrj^ for him, but so far as I can ascertain
he has done better than any of the rest of us.'
Perhaps the most sensible word of all comes
from the man who says: 'Decide where in view
of all the circumstances you want to have your
life work; then go there and fight it out.' "

College also very kindly allowed us to use their
field on Saturday, April 4.

The team opened its season on April 11
against the strong Rock Ilill College team, and
were defeated by a score of 10 to -1. The team
is not discouraged and is confident of winning
a return game with Rock Hill. On account of
the Easter vacation several of the regulars
were not in the game, and this necessitated a
shift in the line-up. The real cause of defeat,
however, was lack of practice. The men were
unable to hit when hits meant runs, and wild
throws were responsible for many of Rock
Hill's runs.

The team is composed of the following :
Catchers, Cooley and Wortche ; first base,

The Maryland State Bar Examiners have an-
nounced that the next examination for admit-
tance to the bar will be held at the Richmond
Market Armory, Howard street, on Thursday
and Friday, June 4 and 5, between the hours of
10 A. M. and 1 P. M. and 2 to 5 P. M. All ap-
plication blanks must be filled oi^t and filed
with the Clerk of the Court of Appeals on or
before May 25th. It would be advisable for
applicants to have their applications in at least
a week earlier than the time mentioned, thus
avoiding any possibility of their applications
being thrown out because of an error, which
the applicant may have overlooked at the last
moment. All those taking the examination
over for the second or third time should so
notifjr the Secretary, Mr. John Hinkley, No.

The Practice Court will hold its final session
on May 8. The whole body of senior and inter-

Mr. Bramble, are Ellis Levin and S. L. Coch-
rane. The defendants, chosen by Mr. Sapping-
ton, are Alfred T. McDorman and W. H. Noeth,
all of the Senior Class.

According to our last issue, the Intermediate
Class is feeling rather chesty. The only reply
which the Seniors wish to make to their re-
marks as to our being " bi'ain-f agged molly-

around and they find themselves facing thesis,
final examinations, and preparation for State
Bar, they will be only too glad to enjoy the
comforts of a home, a good chicken supper and
a lecture." They will have no time for lighter
frivolties.

Law — Intermediate.

The Intermediate Class of the University of
Mar.yland Law Department gave a banquet
March 16 in the Turkish Room at the Kernan
which was highly enjoyed. College yells were
frequent and a band of negro musicians fur-
nished stirring music in which ragtime pre-
dominated. The guests of honor were Judge
James P. Gorter, Judge Carroll T. Bond, of the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore city, and Judge
Henry T. Harlan, formerly a member of that
body. C. B. Smythe acted as toastmaster.

The first speakers on the program were J. L.
Sullivan, Julian Zeiget and B. G. Gold, mem-
bers of the Intermediate Law Class, who won
the commendation of the guests of honor and
their fellow-students for their excellent ad-
dresses.

Judge Gorter made a short talk, enlivened
with funny stories which he said he had culled
from the newspapers. He said that the law'
lags behind the van of progress, as it should dosj
because it is a conservative force. Still, he bel
lieved that it was making advancement. He
called attention to the marked changes tha^
have taken place in the practice of law, saying
that changes had not only taken place in thi
intei'pretation of law but in its applieatiorcj

OLD MARYLAND.

He touched upon modern methods of treating
criminals, the parole system and the efforts of
judges to make the law subserve justice. He
said the judges had decided to take the control
of eases in Baltimore out of the hands of law-
yers who tried to browbeat witnesses.

Judge Bond called attention to the brilliant
future before young lawyers, saying that law
was no longer in a fixed, but a fluid state, and
the work of the young lawyer of today was
almost creative in effect. He compared the
modern practice of law to athletic contests in
which a man wins by superior points. Prepa-
ration, he said, gives a lawyer the greatest of
all advantages in trying a case. He also ad-
vised that the young man present follow the
precept of a French iDhilosopher who lived
gayly and laboriously. Judge Bond said tlie
best workers have a capacity for fun.

Former Judge Harlan made a felicitous tallc
in which he paid a high compliment to the
members of the class, saying that neither he
nor Judge Gorter at their age could speak as
well as students had done. He said that the
present day demands eiScient men as no other
day has ever demanded them. The problems of
the law are constantly growing more complex,
he declared, and the business of the Supreme
Bench at present is far more complicated than
it used to be.

which were received with much enthusiasii], the

The "Honor System" in Examinations.

The "Honor System" had its origin in, and
has been adopted by, other leading universities
of this country, and has proven so effective and
been so favorably regarded by both students
and faculty, that it suggests itself to the offi-
cers and some of the members of the Junior
Class of the Law Department of the University
of Maryland as most commendable, and a sys-
tem that is certain to raise the standard of the
educational institution where it is in vogue.

The reasons in favor of the system are many.
It is naturally assumed that when a young man
enters a university for the purpose of taking
up a profession, he is there to get the most out
of it that he can in the time that he has to de-
vote to his studies, and prepare himself for the
difficulties that are sure to confront him in later
life in the practice of his profession. It should
lie his desire, therefore, to master the subjects
which he is required to learn, and rely entirely
on his own merits and knowledge in taking the
examinations, and not depend upon his neigh-
bor to lend him assistance.

Moreover, justice and fair dealing is the fun-
damental principle in an honorable and suc-
cessful career. The profession does not make

the man. The man must make the profession,
and unless the stvident applies himself diligent-
ly and masters the intricate problems, he will
not attain very great heights in the hall of
fame.

The cheat in examinations deceives himself
as well as the professors and his fellow-stu-
dents, and much more to his own detriment.
The professors are giving their time and energy
to him in an effort to acquaint him with the
technicalities of the law, and he in turn is
scheming to find some means by which he can
deceive them, and thus fraudulently procure a
diploma or degree. Any suspicion of unfair-
ness in obtaining a degree cannot fail to dam-
age the reputation of a man in his career and
militate against his success.

Failure, frankly acknowledged by the stu-
dent, may lead him to final success; and the
sooner that he knows his weakness and admits
it the better and easier it will be for him. He
will then realize the necessity of applying him-
self, and will do so with such a determined
effort that he cannot help but succeed. His
pride alone would sj^ur him to do his utmost,
and he would soon realize that difficulties can
be overcome only by the concentration of his
mental faculties.

Moreover, the "Honor System" will do much
towards establishing and cementing closer re-
lations and greater confidence between the stu-
dent body, the professors, and the members of
the faculty.

These suggestions have their origin in the
experience of certain of the members of the
student body of the Law Department of the
University of Maryland, and they are there-
fore decidedly of the opinion that the "Honor
System" should be established in that depart-
ment.

OLD MARYLAND.

"Senator" Smith, of Intermediate (Law)
fame, has joined Maryland's crack cavalry
troop "A." One thought suggested to our
mind is whether the "Senator," with pleasant
memories of his experience with that fascinat-
ing subject, Real Property, would rather tackle
"greasers" than Title and Conveyancing. Our
friend has dabbled in real estate, and we may
iiear of him selling lots in Mexico to Mexicans
before he is through ; he has something up his
sleevej and we, his friends, are waiting and will
patiently await developments.

The Class of 1916, Department of Law, as a
class assembled and elected the following offi-
cers: J. Kemp Bartlett, Jr., president; Geo. E.
Kiefner, vice-president; Grafton Duval, treas-
urer ; Frank Saylor, secretary ; C. Newton Mat-
thews, historian and class editor of ' ' Old Mary-
land. " Each man was nominated and elected
by the entire class, comprising the day and
night classes, and was selected for his peculiar
qualification for the position, irrespective of
which class he represented. The organization
of the class was effected with a harmony and
manifestation of the desire to combine the two
classes into one class, not only in name but in
fact. The election of officers speaks eloquently
of the cohesion and broadmindedness of the
entire membership, and should be a good exam-
ple, au admirable precedent for the classes to
be formed in the future.
